Abstract:

The resilience to earthquakes of the existing barriers in Turkey is very important both in terms of security and economic. In this study, the Dim Barj, a stone-filled barge covered with concrete front, was addressed in order to relieve the earthquake behavior of the existing barges in our country. The behavior under the dynamic loads (cremes loads) was studied using the dynamic analysis method in the time-definition field of this barrier. The results were also assessed by the results of the tensions and changes occurring in the bar. In the study, the modeling of the barge mathematically closely to reality was tried to be provided by the method of final elements in order to determine the barge's behavior in the impact of the earthquake forces in a more realistic way. A final element network has been selected in which the distribution of the material characteristics for the bar, geometry and limit conditions take into account the most general state. Dim barge is modeled in three-dimensional form using the SAP 2000 final elements program. The reservoir of the bar is empty, half-filled and full, and the behavior under the impact of the earthquake is studied. The results of the analysis showed the importance of the earthquake behavior of the barges and determined the need to be done for the safety of the barges.
