    Comparative Analysis of Composite Buildings Produced in National and International Standards

    Etli, Serkan; Akgül, Melek

    Composite moment resisting frame buildings with 5-, 10-, 15- and 20-story concrete filled steel tube columns and composite beams were modelled. The buildings are designed according to Turkish Code for Design and Construction of Steel Structures-2016 (TCDCSS-2016) and Türkiye Building Earthquake Code-2018 (TBEC-2018) regulations at high ductility levels. The design of the DCH structures was designed in ZC ground for a 0.79 g PGA. While choosing the design location, it is assumed that the construction will be made in a region between the North Anatolian fault line and the East Anatolian fault line, that is, in a region with high earthquake risk. Within the scope of the study, SeismoStruct [1] software was used during the design and performance evaluation of the structures. Nonlinear static push and incremental dynamic analyses were used. Uniform and triangular load distributions were adopted in the PO analysis, and 16 earthquake ground motions were used in the dynamic analysis. The effect of story number on the seismic behavior of CMRFs was investigated using nonlinear analysis results. Accordingly, variation in lateral response, overstrength factors, ductility, and section capacity change of members for CMRF structures were presented. In addition, a mutual evaluation was made with the performance parameters obtained from previous studies with similar geometries.

    Application of a new dynamic analysis method to pid controlled speed governors in hydroelectric power plants

    Işık, Erdem; Kahraman, Gökhan

    Hydroelectric power plants are environmental-friendly as they are renewable energy sources and make great contributions to the economies. In addition, they are in the state of insurance of the electricity network, since they can respond to the power demands of the electricity network in a very short time. In this study, the effect of the speed governors dispense valve has been added to the classical control mechanism in order to accurately predict the reaction of hydroelectric power plants to the load requirement of the electrical network. As a result of the dynamic analysis, the data obtained in the simulation environment have been compared with the responses of the real hydraulic turbine. The results show that when the dynamic analysis of the speed governor dispense valve is added to the classical control mechanism, the power response behavior in the simulation environment becomes closer to the real hydraulic turbine behavior. These results will assist speed governor designers in predicting real-like behavior in hydroelectric power plants.

    The effect of ohmic heating on the quality properties of couscous during cooking

    Sabanci, Serdal; Işık, Erdem; Goksu, Ali; Omaç, Basrı

    Couscous has been widely eaten around the world because it has a low glycemic index, is low in fat, and is simple to prepare. However, it should be cooked before consumption. Therefore, novel heating methods, such as ohmic heating, can be used to cook couscous. This study aimed to investigate the potential use of ohmic heating at a voltage gradient of 17 V/cm to cook couscous and compare it with the conventional cooking method. To determine the effect of ohmic heating and conventional methods on the quality properties (color, texture profile analysis, cooking loss, moisture content, and weight increase (%)) of couscous, samples were cooked in a 0.1% salt solution. The samples were analyzed at different cooking times (4, 8, 12, and 16 min). The results obtained in the present study revealed that the total color difference also increased with an increase in cooking time. In addition, similar trends were observed for cooking loss, moisture content, and weight gain. Furthermore, the couscous samples treated with ohmic heating and conventional heating methods were completely cooked after 12 minutes. Overall, compared to the conventional cooking method, the ohmic heating process did not induce any negative effects on the quality parameters of couscous.

    Özay, Yusuf; Güler, Osman; Türk, Ahmet; Karadag, Abdullah; Zencirci, Büşra

    Purpose: High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is used commonly in the food industry and has been associated with various diseases including obesity, diabetes and fatty liver. Ghrelin, an orexigenic hormone with widespread receptors in many tissues, exerts various central and peripheral effects. Food intake may reduce its synthesis. Kisspeptin plays a major role in reproductive hormones and its receptors are expressed in tissues with high metabolic activity, such as the liver. This study aims to investigate the effects of HFCS consumption on liver tissue and its relationship with Kisspeptin and Ghrelin levels. Materials and Methods: Fourteen adult male Wistar albino rats, aged eight to ten weeks, were used in this study and divided into two groups; Control and HFCS (n=7). Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha (TNF-α), Ghrelin, and Kisspeptin levels in the liver tissues of the rats were measured using an immunohistochemical method and subsequently analyzed through histoscoring. Results: Our data revealed a significant increase in Kisspeptin, Caspase 3, and TNF-α levels and a decrease in Ghrelin levels in the HFCS group compared to the Control group. Conclusion: In conclusion, our study demonstrates, for the first time, changes in liver Kisspeptin levels induced by a high fructose diet. Furthermore, the consumption of HFCS in food led to inflammatory activation, tissue damage, and reduced Ghrelin levels.

    Experimental investigation and numeric modelling of the impact performance of basalt fiber reinforced geopolymer concrete

    Polat, Berivan Yılmazer; Güngör, Hiranur

    Geopolymer concrete (GC) has been found to have better results than Portland cement concrete (PCC), including lower carbon dioxide emissions, higher compressive strength, and greater durability. The study aims to determine the effects of basalt fiber on GC due to the impact caused by the sudden loading effect. Samples were prepared with different mixing ratios for the experimental process, with PCC used as the control sample. Basalt fibers were added to the samples in three different ratios based on optimal mixing ratios determined through physical and mechanical tests, such as UPV (Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity), compressive strength, and flexural strength. Subsequently, fibrous samples were analyzed using SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and EDS (energy dispersive spectroscopy). A drop-weight experiment was conducted on GC plates measuring 50×50×5 cm, which contained two different fiber ratios that yielded the best mechanical and physical properties. The results were analyzed using numerical modeling methods. No changes in content were made. The sample with the highest impact resistance was found to be the 2% basalt fiber-reinforced GC, with a displacement value 21.21% lower than PCC. The language used is clear, concise, and objective, with a formal register and precise word choice. The text follows a logical structure with causal connections between statements and adheres to conventional academic formatting and citation styles. The ANSYS modeling results indicated an 89.63% similarity with the experimental data regarding the displacement values. Additionally, the study demonstrated that the inclusion of basalt fiber additives enhances the impact resistance of geopolymer concrete. Furthermore, numerical modeling can predict the impact behavior of concrete to a significant extent, eliminating the need for experimental processes.

    Numerical Analysis of Double Geopolymer Concrete Layer with Different Properties

    Polat, Berivan Yılmazer

    Researchers have been working to find alternatives to conventionally produced concrete in recent years. Geopolymer concretes are also the focus of these studies. There are not enough studies on modelling geopolymer concretes, which are the subject of many experimental studies. In this study, which is believed to close the gap in the literature, stress and strain analyses of geopolymer concrete with two different properties under load in two different systems were performed. The locations of the concrete with different properties were also changed in the model, and the results obtained in both cases were compared. It was observed that when the geopolymer concrete with a lower modulus of elasticity and 100% slag content was on top, the stress values decreased, and the strain rates increased.

    Application of the Ohmic Heating Process to Make a Semolina Dessert with Milk

    Sabanci, Serdal; Omaç, Basrı; Yüksel, Hatice Pınar

    Traditional milk desserts are one of the most essential dessert groups that Turkish society consumes. Due to foaming activity, it was aimed to investigate the feasibility of the ohmic heating system to produce a semolina dessert with milk. Hence, an ohmic heating treatment was used to heat the milk, semolina, and sugar mix from 20°C to 100°C using three different voltage gradients (15, 17.5, and 20 V/cm) and then boil for two minutes. It was found that the current value escalated from 20°C to approximately 86°C but decreased after 86°C due to foaming. Since the total consumed energy during the ohmic cooking treatment was inversely proportional to the treatment time, the total consumed energy values decreased based on the rising voltage gradient. As a result, the feasibility of the ohmic heating treatment for making a traditional semolina dessert with milk was determined in this study.

    The Effects of Hydroxyapatite on the Corrosion Behaviour of AZ Series Mg Alloys

    Say, Yakup

    Metallic biomaterials are widely used in the orthopedic and dental applications owing to their advanced biocompatibility and sophisticated mechanical properties. Many studies are carried out to develop new alloys with high specific strength, high corrosion resistance and high biocompatibility as an alternative to present metallic biomaterials. Mg alloys are potential alloys as a biomaterial, especially because they have low density and high biocompatibility. However, especially the corrosion properties of Mg alloys need to be improved. In this study, the surfaces of AZ31, AZ61 and AZ91 alloys, which are promising as biomaterials, were coated with hydroxyapatite with high biocompatibility, and the effects of the bioceramics coatings on corrosion resistance were comprehensively investigated. Crack-free and porous surface morphologies were obtained in all bioceramic coatings and the presence of the coatings on the surfaces was supported by EDS analysis. As a result of the corrosion tests performed in SBF, it was determined that the AZ91 alloy had the highest corrosion resistance among the uncoated samples. The hydroxyapatite bioceramic coatings also improved the corrosion properties of all samples. However, among all samples, the highest corrosion resistance was obtained in the hydroxyapatite coated AZ91 alloy.

    Novel Quaternary CuAlZnMg High Temperature Shape Memory Alloy (HTSMA) Fabricated by Minor Batch of Zn and Mg Additions

    Özkul, İskender; Boyrazli, Mustafa; Aksu Canbay, Canan; Başbağ, Güneş; Karaduman, Oktay

    Shape memory alloys (SMAs) constitute the second largest commercial smart material class after piezoelectric materials. Different SMA alloy systems or SMAs with miscellaneous functionalities and characteristic properties have been designed for using in different applications until today. High temperature shape memory alloys (HTSMAs) are also widely desired to be used in various smart materials applications. HTSMAs with different functional and characteristic properties are muchly demanded for different tasks to be done by these alloys or devices designed by these alloys. A common and practical way to fabricate SMAs or HTSMAs with different shape memory effect (SME) and other properties is to fabricate them with different alloying compositions and add different additive elements. In this work, a quaternary CuAlZnMg HTSMA with an unprecedented composition consisting minor amount of zinc and magnesium additives was produced by arc melting method. As a result of applying post-homogenization in high β–phase temperature region and immediate quenching, the microstructural mechanism of a SME property was formed in the produced alloy. After then, to examine SME characteristics of the CuAlZnMg alloy some differential thermal analysis (DTA), microstructural (XRD) and magnetization (VSM) characterization tests were carried out. The DTA results showed that the alloy is a HTSMA exhibiting reverse martensitic transformations at temperature range between 167 °C and 489 °C. The XRD pattern obtained at room temperature revealed the martensite phases formed in the alloy, which phases are the base mechanism of the reversible martensitic transformation (the SME property) of the alloy. The VSM test showed that the alloy exhibit a diamagnetic property with a weak ferromagnetic coercivity contribution.
