Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Hydro-Elastic Analysis of Standing Submerged Structures Under Seismic Excitations With SPH-FEM Approach(Latin Amer J Solids Structures, 2020) Demir, AbdullahIn this paper, a fully coupled fluid structure interaction (FSI) method is used to investigate the hydro-elastic response of a fully submerged standing structure under seismic excitations. Two different domains (solid and fluid) are modelled by mesh based and meshless methods, respectively. Solid domain is modeled by finite element method (FEM) and fluid domain is modeled by smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH). Coupling between FEM and SPH is implemented via contact mechanics, and this method differs from others in the way of coupling mechanism. Invading SPH particles are solved together with finite elements by using contact mechanics, then, a fully coupled method is achieved. In the scope of this research, different seismic excitations are applied to a rectangular tank. Half of the tank is filled with water and a submerged rubber plate is attached to its mid bottom. Thus, two-dimensional motion of rubber plate and water is investigated experimentally and simulated numerically. [GRAPHICS] .Article A Sustainable Decision-Making Framework to Evaluate Land and Seaside Disposal Options for Tunnel Spoil: A Case Study of Trabzon(Science Press, 2025-05) Dincer, Ali Ersin; Demir, Abdullah; Ozturk, Sevki; Yilmaz, KutaySustainable urbanization is essential for developing cities. To ensure the success of planned construction projects, designers must prioritize sustainability by lowering emissions and reducing costs. Tunnel projects are common worldwide, but disposing of the excavated material presents a significant challenge due to unsuitable geographic conditions. While coastal cities with mountainous terrains have historically used spoil for sea filling, this study offers alternative landside options to promote sustainability. By using a conventional analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method for multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM), the study evaluates land use, sustainability, slope, and drainage lines as constraints for the AHP method. The transportation-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are also considered to reduce environmental damage. Particle swarm optimization is used to determine the minimum transportation distance from the excavation zone to the dumpsite. As a sub-criteria of land use, the seaside is also considered a dumpsite compared with other options on the land side. The spatial analysis results of the case study show that suitable landside sites are available for the Trabzon tunneling project. Although coastal areas in Trabzon have been used for spoil dumping for filling purposes in the past, landside deposition is a viable alternative. The suitability ranks of land and coastal filling options are relatively similar, and selecting the seaside as the dumpsite for the Trabzon tunneling project reduces CO2 emissions. By adopting sustainable practices, we can realize a better future for our cities and the environment.
