Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Numerical Analysis and Experimental Comparison of Stress and Stiffness Parameters of Steel Reinforced Geopolymer Concrete Columns(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2026-01) Ozbayrak, Ahmet; Kucukgoncu, Hurmet; Aslanbay, Huseyin Hilmi; Aslanbay, Yuksel Gul; Altun, FatihDespite extensive research, Geopolymer concrete (GPC) lacks reinforced concrete construction and design specifications. Developing such specifications requires comprehensive studies to promote the use of GPC, which is known for its superior performance and environmental benefits compared to ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPC). This study numerically investigated and compared the behavior and strength of fly ash-based geopolymer-reinforced concrete columns with the experimental results. Comparisons with OPC were made based on existing specifications. Herein, FEM analyses were conducted on 16 GPC and 4 OPC columns under eccentric axial compressive loads. Parameters such as eccentricity, reinforcement ratio, curing method, and activation solution ratios were varied. According to average numerical results, the GPC columns have 7% more moment capacity and 30% more curvature values than OPC. Moreover, GPC columns absorbed more energy than OPC columns. Also, GPC columns have higher axial load and bending moment carrying capacities than OPC for numerical results. Error analysis between FEM and experimental data revealed a strong correlation, with MAPE values of 8.88% (axial load) and 7.20% (moment) for GPC columns, confirming the reliability of the numerical model. ACI 318 and Eurocode 2 specifications were deemed applicable for GPC columns, provided axial loads are limited per TEC 2018.Article Citation - WoS: 58Citation - Scopus: 68Structure Health Monitoring Using Wireless Sensor Networks on Structural Elements(Elsevier Science Bv, 2019-01) Ayyildiz, Cem; Erdem, H. Emre; Dirikgil, Tamer; Dugenci, Oguz; Kocak, Taskin; Altun, Fatih; Gungor, V. CagriThis paper presents a system that monitors the health of structural elements in Reinforced Concrete (RC), concrete elements and/or masonry buildings and warn the authorities in case of physical damage formation. Such rapid and reliable detection of impairments enables the development of better risk management strategies to prevent casualties in case of earthquake and floods. Piezoelectric (PZT) sensors with lead zirconate titanate material are the preferred sensor type for fracture detection. The developed sensor mote hardware triggers the PZT sensors and collects the responses they gather from the structural elements. It also sends the collected data to a data center for further processing and analysis in an energy-efficient manner utilizing low-power wireless communication technologies. The access and the analysis of the collected data can be remotely performed via a web interface. Performance results show that the fractures serious enough to cause structural problems can be successfully detected with the developed system. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V.
