Cilingir's research frequently employs centrifugal testing to simulate real-world earthquake conditions (up to 100 G-level) to observe failure mechanisms in soil and embedded structures, which are later validated by FEA models.
To get you the specific information you need, could you clarify: g., on tunnels vs. monopiles)? ulascilingir
Shallow tunnels in sand, particularly those with square cross-sections, are highly vulnerable to seismic activity. Increased depth can lead to higher seismic-induced loads, such as increased hoop forces and bending moments, due to interaction with the surrounding soil. Shallow tunnels in sand, particularly those with square
Fully coupled FE simulations are essential to capture the non-linear behaviour of soil, especially when evaluating permanent deformations in tunnel linings. 2. Geotechnical Structure Performance particularly regarding underground structures like tunnels
The maximum input acceleration of an earthquake plays a crucial role in determining both maximum and residual lining forces.
Based on the search results, Ulas Cilingir is a Senior Geotechnical Engineer and PhD researcher specializing in seismic soil-structure interaction, particularly regarding underground structures like tunnels, anchored sheet pile walls, and offshore monopiles.
His work heavily utilizes and finite element analysis (FEA) to understand structural behavior during earthquakes. 1. Seismic Behavior of Tunnels
