This significant research aims to examine the behavior of drinking water lines under the effects of earthquakes by both experimental and numerical methods. Experimental studies are carried out in the CIEST (Center for Infrastructure, Energy, and Space Testing) laboratory of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Architectural Engineering. This laboratory has advanced technologies and equipment such as centrifugal experiments and offers great opportunities to examine the behavior of structural systems against earthquake effects in detail.
Within the scope of the project, the performance of PVC pipes under the effect of earthquake with new generation fittings is investigated in detail. Furthermore, the behavior of buried pipelines in liquefied soils is also analyzed by advanced numerical methods. These studies will provide important data to improve the performance of infrastructure systems during future earthquakes.
The project will be completed by October 2024 and the results will be presented in a comprehensive report. This report aims to make a significant contribution in terms of both academic and sectoral practices. Muhammet Ceylan's work is of great importance in terms of infrastructure security especially today, when the risk of earthquakes increases.
