Abstract
This study proposes a simplified approach usable on standard office computers for analysis of controlled demolition of buildings that have completed their service life. In this method, proposed as an alternative to complex simulations requiring high-end hardware, the structure is modelled by finite-elements, with load-bearing elements being removed from the system progressively based on blasting sequence. The structure was investigated using non-linear static analysis under its own weight, and it is accepted that the demolition occurred when the global drift ratio exceeded a specified limit value (4% for this case study). The accuracy of this method was tested on the demolition of a 60 m high reinforced concrete silo in Gaziantep. As a result of comparing analysis results with real demolition footage, it was revealed that the proposed method is an efficient and practical tool for predicting the mechanism and direction of collapse of the structure.
This paper addresses the engineering challenge associated with the safety assessment during the phased rehabilitation of existing water supply systems. The subject of this study is a 9084 m long hybrid main transmission water pipeline, where newly designed ductile iron sections (DN800) are integrated with over 50-year-...

Geosynthetics are used in many applications that aim to stabilize or reinforce soil containing structures, such as piled embankments. Several design guidelines have emerged (BS8006, CUR, LDC) that include analytical design methods for this type of structures. These methods are in general based on different initial assu...

In recent years, traditional cast-in-place concrete construction for pre-drilling engineering in unconventional natural gas fields has generated large amounts of waste concrete, consumed significant resources, and prolonged project schedules. To address these issues, this study proposes a prefabricated pavement slab sy...
