The New University Model : Flipped, Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning (fadal)
(FL Global Publishing, 2019) Şahin, Muhammed; Kurban, Caroline Fell; Mazur, Eric
This book is the academic version of The New University Model with an added focus on Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning (FADAL) and a future perspective on higher education. You can learn about flipping a lesson or class from many educators, but only a few people in the world have experienced flipping multiple university departments or an entire university. What could you learn from spending a few hours with the authors who have deep insight into the process of starting, managing, and scaling Flipped Learning in higher education? MEF University is the first fully flipped university in the world. The 2018 graduating class included students who earned their degrees through Flipped, Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning programs in: mathematics education, guidance and psychological counselling, law, computer engineering, electronics and electrical engineering, industrial engineering, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, economics, business administration, psychology, political science and international relations, architecture, and interior design. In this book, MEF’s rector and the director of the Center for Research and Best Practices in Learning and Teaching share invaluable insights that are not available anywhere else. Whether you are a professor considering flipping your class, a dean or a department head considering expanding your Flipped Learning program, or a rector, president or provost looking for a future perspective on higher education, this book will put you on a clear and proven fast track. The book also includes the framework and set of best practices recently developed by the Academy of Active Learning Arts and Sciences (AALAS) through a cohort of 100 experienced Flipped Learning practitioners in 49 countries. The framework will help you avoid the big mistakes as you embrace and scale Flipped, Adaptive, Digital and Active Learning in higher education. “The book is a must-read for any innovative educator or higher education administrator.” -- Dr. Eric Mazur, School of Engineering and Applied Sciences and School of Education, Harvard University.
Lessons From the Rector of the First Fully Flipped Learning University
(FLR The Flipped Learning 3.0 Magazine, 2018) Şahin, Muhammed
Sahin: MEF Educational Institutions was founded in the 1970s by İbrahim Arıkan, an educator and businessman. In 1996, he founded MEF national and international K-12 schools in Istanbul and Izmir. In 2013, he founded MEF University. As both educator and entrepreneur, Arıkan was in a unique position to establish a university. He was aware the educational system was not well suited to the current needs of students and society and envisioned a totally new educational approach for MEF University. To find this approach, he brought me on board as founding rector. Having been rector of Istanbul Technical University from 2008 to 2012, I had a strong background in innovations in education. During our first meeting, Arıkan made it clear that if he was going to establish a university, it needed to be unique and take a different mentality to the educational needs of today’s students. I vividly remember Ibrahim emphatically declaring that if he could not make a change to higher education, he would call a halt to his aspirations for opening a university.
Site Characterization for Site Response Analysis in Performance Based Approach
(Sipringer, 2022) Tönük, Gökçe; Ansal, Atilla
The local seismic hazard analysis would yield probabilistic uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum on the engineering bedrock outcrop. Thus, site-specific response analyses need to produce a probabilistic uniform hazard acceleration response spectrum on the ground surface. A possible performance based approach for this purpose requires a probabilistic estimation of soil stratification and engineering properties of encountered soil layers in the soil profile. The major uncertainties in site-specific response analysis arise from the variabilities of (a) local seismic hazard assessment, (b) selection and scaling of the hazard compatible input earthquake time histories, (c) soil stratification and engineering properties of encountered soil and rock layers, and (d) method of site response analysis. Even though the uncertainties related to first two items have primary importance on the outcome of the site-specific response analyses, the discussion in this article focuses on the observed variability and level of uncertainty in site conditions, related to soil stratification, thickness and type of encountered soil layers and their engineering properties, depth of ground water table and bedrock and properties of the engineering bedrock. Thus, one option may be conducting site response analyses for large number of soil profiles produced by Monte Carlo simulations for the investigated site to assess probabilistic performance based design acceleration spectra and acceleration time histories calculated on the ground surface based on 1D, 2D, or 3D site response analysis with respect to different performance levels.

The Modified Post-Earthquake Damage Assessment Methodology for Tcip (tcip-Dam
(Springer, 2021) Cömert, Mustafa; Ilki, Alper; Halıcı, Ömer Faruk; Demir, Cem
Post-Earthquake damage assessment has always been one of the major challenges that both engineers and authorities face after disastrous earthquakes all around the world. Considering the number of buildings in need of inspection and the insufficient number of qualified inspectors, the availability of a thorough, quantitative and rapidly applicable damage assessment methodology is vitally important after such events. At the beginning of the new millennia, an assessment system satisfying these needs was developed for the Turkish Catastrophe Insurance Pool (TCIP, known as DASK in Turkey) to evaluate the damages in reinforced concrete (RC) and masonry structures. Since its enforcement, this assessment method has been successfully used after several earthquakes that took place in Turkey, such as 2011 Van Earthquake, 2011 Kutahya Earthquake, 2019 Istanbul Earthquake and 2020 Elazig Earthquake to decide the future of damaged structures to be either ‘repaired’ or ‘demolished’.

Microzonation With Respect To Ground Shaking Intensity
(CRC Press/Balkema, 2019) Tönük, Gökçe; Kurtuluş, Aslı; Ansal, Atilla
Seismic microzonation is conducted to assess the seismic hazard on the ground surface with respect to ground shaking intensity. A probabilistic seismic hazard study is conducted to define earthquake characteristics on the rock outcrop. A grid system is generated to divide the investigation area into cells according to geological and geotechnical data. Site characterizations are based on available information to define soil profiles for each cell with soil stratifications and shear wave velocities extending down to the engineering bedrock. Site-specific 1D site response analyses are carried out for all soil profiles, based on the engineering properties of encountered soil layers, selection and scaling of the sufficient number of input acceleration time histories compatible with the regional seismicity and earthquake source characteristics. The microzonation study carried out for Zeytinburnu town on the European side of Istanbul with respect to ground shaking intensity is presented. The importance of the selection of the microzonation parameters for assessing ground shaking intensity is discussed. © 2019 Associazione Geotecnica Italiana, Rome, Italy.

Contribution of Gravity Frames To Seismic Performance of Steel Moment Resisting Frames
(2018) Zorlu, Mustafa; Şeker, Onur; Akbaş, Bülent; Shen, Jay
Traditionally, lateral stiffness and strength of the gravity frames in steel buildings are neglected in structural analysis. During the past earthquakes, such as Northridge, USA, 1994 and Kobe, Japan, 1995, unexpected failures were detected at beam-to-column connections of steel moment resisting frames (MRFs). In the aftermath of these earthquakes, extensive research has been carried out to reveal the causes of these failures. Based on the detailed observations, it is likely that the reserve capacity provided by the gravity frames prevented the highly damaged steel buildings from collapsing, since majority of the moment-resisting connections failed prematurely during the Northridge earthquake (1994). Even though the influence of gravity frames (GFs) on structural behavior can be substantial, little attention is paid to evaluate its impact on structural response. With this paper, the contribution of interior GFs in seismic performance of special moment resisting steel frames (SMRFs) is evaluated. For this purpose, 4- and 9-story SMRFs were designed in accordance with the requirements of Draft Turkish Seismic Code (2016). The frames are, then, subjected to incremental dynamic analysis. To evaluate the contribution of the interior GFs on the overall seismic performance of structural system, inelastic behavior of shear tab (simple) connections at beam-to-gravity-only columns were idealized as semi-rigid joints. A general purpose structural analysis software, ETABS, is utilized for the analyses. The results of the study are presented in terms of story drifts, base shear vs. roof displacement.

Observations From Geotechnical Arrays in Istanbul
(2015) Tönük, Gökçe; Kurtuluş, Aslı; Cetiner, Barbaros; Ansal, Atilla
Few small earthquakes with local magnitude slightly larger than M-L = 4 were recorded by geotechnical downhole arrays that have been recently deployed in the west side of Istanbul. Same events were also recorded by Istanbul Rapid Response Network (IRRN) which comprises of 55 surface strong motion stations in the European side of Istanbul. The strongest one of these earthquakes took place on 12/3/2008 in Cinarcik with local magnitude of M-L = 4.8. Even though the observed PGAs were not exceeding 0.01 g, an effort is made to model the recorded response at the downhole array sites as well as the at the IRRN stations using the acceleration records obtained by the deepest sensors, i.e. on the engineering bedrock, at the downhole array sites as input bedrock motions. 1D equivalent linear site response analysis that is generally adopted for site-specific response analysis is used for modelling. Observations from the recorded response and results from 1D modelling of ground response have yielded in general good agreement between the observed and recorded soil response at the station sites.

Performance of High-Damping Rubber Bearings for Seismic Isolation of Residential Buildings in Turkey
(Elsevier, 2021) Murota, N.; Tuzun, C.; Mori, T.; Şadan, Bahadır; Wakishima, K.; Suzuki, S.; Sutcu, F.; Erdik, M.
The applicability of high-damping rubber bearings for seismic isolation of residential buildings in Turkey is studied using numerical and experimental approaches. Seismic isolation system composed of high-damping rubber bearings is designed according to the recently updated Turkish Building Seismic Code-2018 (TBSC2018). Three model buildings of different height at assumed seismically active area are chosen from an actual building database, on which, equivalent lateral force procedure, and time history analyses are carried out. The seismic responses of the buildings are evaluated and the seismic isolation system's efficiency is confirmed. It is pointed out that the requirements in the new code in terms of the maximum allowable shear strain of elastomeric isolators are excessively conservative for those isolators with much larger capacity which is verified by sufficient test data, and as a result, designed isolator size becomes larger than necessary from a practical aspect. In order to verify the isolator design without compliance of shear strain limitation in the code, full-scale prototypes of high-damping rubber bearings are specially designed, developed and are subjected to dynamic loading test under test protocol specified in the code. The specific values of test conditions, such as compressive force, shear displacement and frequency, are developed referring several projects in Turkey. The results are comprehensively discussed and the applicability of high-damping rubber bearing for seismic isolation of residential buildings in Turkey is concluded with numerical and experimental approaches and a possible modification of TBSC2018 regarding maximum shear strain is proposed.

Time - Cost Relationships for Superstructure Projects in Turkey
(TMMOB İnşaat Mühendisleri Odası, 2020) Dikmen, Seyyit Ümit; Akbıyıklı, Rıfat; Sönmez, Murat
The concept of time-cost relationship in construction projects was first introduced by Bromilow. Bromilow used the data of the superstructure projects completed in Australia in the creation of the proposed time-cost model (BTC model). The aim of this study is to determine the time-cost relationship of superstructure projects in Turkey. Time and cost data of superstructure projects completed between the years of 1999-2018 was used in the study. Data was grouped primarily on the basis of the intended use of buildings (individual buildings, educational buildings, hospitals, industrial buildings and social housing), and then time-cost relationships were separately determined for each group. In addition, the effects of the parameters such as exchange rates and the number of non-working days on the time-cost relationship were investigated statistically.
