    The Reinforced Earth theory was created by French H. Vidal in 1966 and has showed up a progressive development till today. With cost and time savings that the technique brings with, Reinforced Earth Retaining Structures ...
  • Yılmaz, Hamdi. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    In case where weak soil take place under mat foundations of high, heavily loaded structures, foundation system is designed with socket piles which transfer their load through skin friction to a firm stratum located at a ...
  • Bul, Ebru. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    With the increased use of pipelines for transporting water, gas, petroleum, and sewage, the importance of pipe is understood easily in life. As time goes on, pipe technology has been developing and present more facilities ...
  • İncircioğlu, Serdar. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    The objective of this research is to modify the fabric of clay by mixing it with paper fibers in different forms. Fiber addition to clay is not a common procedure; however finite length fibers of tire buffings, polypropylene ...
  • Barhani, Edison. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    The rapid growth of the transportation sector during the last decade in Turkey has created many problems particularly in Istanbul such as air pollution, energy consumption, and loss of urban ‘living space’. Different from ...
  • Yılmaz, Arif Kıvanç. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    The aim of this study is to evaluate the loading capacity of open ended piles in cohesionless soils by using PLAXIS. The simulation program PLAXIS uses finite element method to calculate load capacity and solve the problem. ...
  • Ayhan, Volkan. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    Using tire wastes as lightweight material in constructions is a good alternative to benefit them rather than disposing as waste. Thus, many economical, environmental and technical advantages are gained. To use tire wastes ...
  • Öztürk, Serdar. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
    Fiber reinforcement of soils is generally used to improve the properties of sandy soils. The number of investigations on potential use of fibers in clay soil is limited. The results of previous investigations show that ...
  • Sevin, Özlem. (Thesis (M.S.)-Bogazici University. Institute for Graduate Studies in Science and Engineering, 2007., 2007.)
