    Determining pull - out deformations of bonded metal anchors embedded in concrete by means of photogrammetry
    (International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, 2012) Avşar, Edip Özgür; Altan, Mehmet Orhan; Doğan, Umut Anıl; Akça, Mehmet Devrim
    Chemical anchorages are applied in many engineering implementations, particularly strengthening of reinforced concrete structures. During strengthening procedure; chemical anchorages should be tested, since they supply to transfer the load between existing construction elements and newly added elements. Therefore; the study of the quality of chemical anchorages is an important issue in construction materials science. In this context; the most important experiment is to determine the pull-out loads of embedded anchorage reinforcement by applying axial loads. In this study; it is aimed to determine the displacements of steel reinforcements, embedded into concrete by using chemical anchorages, while applying axial pulling loads. In order to determine the displacements and load - deformation graphs; starting conditions and every 10 bar pressure applied conditions of the steel reinforcements were captured by the cameras. The obtained images were evaluated by using photogrammetric software. Based on the photogrammetric post-processing results, the load - deformation graphs were plotted and the loads at loss of adhesion were determined.

    Mixed-method validation of pedagogical concepts for an intercultural online learning environment: a case study
    (Assoc Computing Machinery, 2007) Law, Effie Lai-Chong; Nguyen-Ngoc, Anh Vu; Kuru, Selahattin
    The rise of social software poses the challenges to the design and evaluation of a pedagogically sound online learning environment (OLE). Our OLE addresses these challenges by the integration of three pedagogical concepts - cross-cultural collaboration, self-directed learning and social networking - with the aim to advance participants' competencies and by mixed-method approaches to evaluating the complex situations. A validation trial involving four European countries was conducted. Groups of students co-created a questionnaire, which was assessed to provide an indicator of task performance. Multi-source (surveys, blogs, emails, diaries, chats, videoconference, and interviews) and multi-perspective data (facilitators, students, researchers) were studied with social network analysis, content analysis and conversation analysis. Several a posteriori research questions are addressed.

    Beam tracing theory in Minkowski space
    (IEEE, 2011) Hasanoğlu, Elman
    This paper provides a novel approach to beam theory in homogeneous lossless mediun. The main idea is to interpret the classic eikonal equation in three dimensional Minkowski space.
