Every year, millions of waste tires are discarded across the world. Storage of waste tires presents many problems such as fire threats, epidemics, and non-economic factors. Furthermore, the disintegration process of waste tires is not economical or practical due to its time-consuming, and disposal requirements. In this study, half-section waste tires (HSWTs) were integrated with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipes under different relative density conditions. The main aim of the study was to reduce the deformation values of embedded HDPE pipes in sandy soil and to evaluate the soil-pipe interaction. In comprehensive laboratory tests, half-section waste tires were integrated in two different ways: in the middle of the pipeline and along the pipeline. Accordingly, it was concluded that the effectiveness of waste tires reduces the deformation and bending moment values in the critical regions of pipes. As a result of reinforcement in the mid-point of the pipe defined as the most critical region, 52% and 36% less deformation was observed in the crown and springlines of the pipe, respectively. In addition, the bending moment values for the same critical section were determined to be 40% less in the crown and 28% less in the springline regions of the pipe.

In the present paper, we investigate the convergence, equivalence of convergence, rate of convergence and data dependence results using a three step iteration process for mappings satisfying certain contractive condition in hyperbolic spaces. Also we give nontrivial examples for the rate of convergence and data dependence results to show effciency of three step iteration process. The results obtained in this paper may be interpreted as a refinement and improvement of the previously known results.

Walls are the most important vertical load-carrying elements of masonry structures. Their bond designs are different from one country to another. This paper presents the shear effects of some structural bond designs commonly used for masonry walls. Six different bond designs are considered and modeled using finite element procedures under lateral loading to examine the shear behavior of masonry walls. To obtain accurate results, finite element models are assumed in the inelastic region. Crack development patterns for each wall are illustrated on deformed meshes, and the numerical results are compared.

In this study, we interpret the notion of homotopy of morphisms in the category of crossed modules in a category C of groups with operations using the categorical equivalence between the categories of crossed modules and of internal categories in C. Further, we characterize the derivations of crossed modules in a category C and obtain new crossed modules using regular derivations of old one.

In this paper, firstly we compute the spectral norm of g-circulant matrices $C_{n,g}=g-Circ(c_0,c_1,{\cdots},c{_{n-1}})$, where $c_i{\geq}0$ or $c_i{\leq}0$ (equivalently $c_i{\cdot}c_j{\geq}0$). After, we compute the spectral norms, determinants and inverses of the g-circulant matrices with the Fibonacci and Lucas numbers.

In this paper, we first define generalizations of Pell and Pell-Lucas sequences by the recurrence relations $$p_n=2ap_{n-1}+(b-a^2)p_{n-2}\;and\;q_n=2aq_{n-1}+(b-a^2)q_{n-2}$$ with initial conditions $p_0=0$, $p_1=1$, and $p_0=2$, $p_1=2a$, respectively. We give generating functions and Binet's formulas for these sequences. Also, we obtain some identities of these sequences.

In this study, a new stopping criterion, called "backward controlled stopping criterion" (BCSC), was proposed to be used in Genetic Algorithms. In the study, the available stopping citeria; adaptive stopping citerion, evolution time, fitness threshold, fitness convergence, population convergence, gene convergence, and developed stopping criterion were applied to the following four comparison problems; high strength concrete mix design, pre-stressed precast concrete beam, travelling salesman and reinforced concrete deep beam problems. When completed the analysis, the developed stopping criterion was found to be more accomplished than available criteria, and was able to research a much larger area in the space design supplying higher fitness values.

The purpose of this paper is to study invariant pseudoparallel, Ricci generalized pseudoparallel and 2-Ricci generalized pseudoparallel submanifold of a para-Kenmotsu manifold and I obtained some equivalent conditions of invariant submanifolds of para-Kenmotsu manifolds under some conditions which the submanifolds are totally geodesic. Finally, a non-trivial example of invariant submanifold of paracontact metric manifold is constructed in order to illustrate our results.

The purpose of this study is to develop a rehabilitation technique for heavily earthquake damaged masonry buildings. A full scale one storey masonry building with window and door openings was manufactured and tested on the shock table by applying increased amplitude free vibration up to the point where heavy earthquake damage was observed. Damaged test building was rehabilitated with vertical and diagonal steel straps and then tested again. The effectiveness of improvements obtained by the rehabilitation technique was investigated. Steel straps improved the lateral strength and stiffness of masonry walls and limited the lateral displacement of building. Stability of the masonry walls were also improved by the steel straps. Steel straps reduced the natural period of the earthquake damaged masonry building and prevented the failure of the building at the same amplitude of free vibration.

Base isolation, having quite simple contents, aims to protect the buildings from earthquake-induced damages by installing structural components having low horizontal stiffness between substructure and superstructure. In this study, an appropriate base isolation system for 2-D reinforced concrete frame is investigated. For different structural heights, the structural systems of 2, 3 and 4 bays are modeled by applying base isolation systems and results are compared with conventional structural systems. 1999 Marmara earthquake data is used for applying the model by time history method in SAP2000 package. Results of various parameters such as base shear force, structure drift ratio, structure period and superstructure acceleration are discussed for all models.
