    Effect of Fiber Type, Shape and Volume Fraction on Mechanical and Flexural Properties of Concrete
    (2022) BAŞSÜRÜCÜ, Mahmut; FENERLI, CENK; Kina, Ceren; akbaş, şadiye defne
    An experimental study was herein presented focusing the effect of different type, shape and volume fraction of fibers on the hardened properties of concrete including compressive, splitting tensile and flexural strengths at 7 and 28 curing days. A control concrete mixture with no fiber was prepared and six fiber reinforced concrete mixtures were designed by using two different types of fibers which were steel fibers with different shapes (short straight and hooked end) and polypropylene fiber with the volume fraction of 0.4% and 0.8%. The load-deflection curves and toughness of the specimens were analyzed based on ASTM C1609. The results showed that the utilization of short straight steel fibers with 0.8% volume fraction was most efficient at improving the compressive strength while the use of 0.8% long hooked end steel fibers provided better splitting tensile and flexural strengths. Besides, the long hooked end steel fibers with the volume fraction of 0.8% contributed to an excellent deflection hardening behavior resulting in higher load deflection capacity and toughness at peak load, L/600 and L/150. On the other hand, with incorporation of polypropylene fiber, all strength values were decreased regardless of the volume fraction and curing days.

    Geotechnical and Structural Investigations in Malatya Province after Kahramanmaraş Earthquake on February 6, 2023
    (2023) YILDIZ, Ozgur; Kina, Ceren
    Two earthquakes with moment magnitudes of 7.7 and 7.6 occured on February 6, 2023, at 04:17 a.m. (with local time, GMT+3) in Kahramanmaraş-Ekinözü Pazarcık and at 13:24 p.m. (with local time, GMT+3) in Kahramanmaraş-Elbistan, respectively, in Turkey. The earthquake was felt in a wide area within Turkey and caused structural destructions and heavy damage of buildings, especially in eleven cities including Adana, Adıyaman, Diyarbakır, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye, Şanlıurfa and Elazığ. The aim of this study was to present the detailed field investigation in Malatya province which was one of the most affected city in the region. The strong ground motion records have been analyzed and PGA distribution maps were presented. Structural defects in damaged and collapsed buildings were examined, and design and manufacturing defects were examined. The performance of soil structures was examined, and the defects demonstrated were evaluated in the context of the geological environment. The study is essential in terms of evaluating the damage and possible causes of the building stock in Malatya city center and its districts after the earthquake. In this sense, a holistic evaluation has been carried out, which can be a useful resource for Anatolian cities with typical building characteristics.

    Importance of pumice amount in the design of self-compacting lightweight concrete
    (2024) KARADAĞ, ENES MİRAÇ; Gürocak, Mustafa; Kina, Ceren; Turk, Kazim
    Although concrete has high compressive strength values, it has a heavy unit volume and low tensile strength. In this study, the normal-weight aggregate, which takes up the most space in concrete by volume and mass, was partially replaced with pumice aggregate, and macro steel fiber (30 mm) was also added to the mixtures. This experimental work aims to investigate the effect of pumice aggregate amount on the fresh and hardened properties, as well as the flexural performance of the self-compacting lightweight concrete (SCLC). The replacement proportions of pumice aggregate with crushed sand were arranged as 45%, 50%, and 55% of the entire aggregate by weight. Three mixtures, each with 1% macro steel fiber reinforcement and without fiber, were prepared for each mixture scenario. The mix design of these six mixtures was arranged to achieve the self-compacting ability and the workability tests recommended by EFNARC (slump-flow, T50, J-ring) were taken into account. To investigate the mechanical properties (compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths) and flexural toughness of the samples, the specimens were cured in water at 23±2 °C for 28 days. As a result, the unit volume weights of the specimens produced from pumice-substituted mixtures decreased with the increase in the pumice dosage, while the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths decreased. However, it has been determined that all SCLC mixtures including pumice aggregate provided workability properties in general and had enough compressive strength to be used in the production of structural bearing elements, regardless of fiber content. As a result, the optimum pumice aggregate replacement percentage with crushed sand was found to be 45% and the best flexural performance values of the specimens having macro steel fiber were observed in the ones having 45% pumice aggregate substitution.
