In many engineering applications such as aerospace, automotive and telecommunications, icing leads to mechanical and socio-economic problems such as efficiency reduction, decreased power transmission, security threat, material damage and energy waste. Theref…

Cities consume over two-thirds of the world’s energy and account for more than 70% of global CO₂ emissions. Given these negative impacts, cities are major contributors to climate change, one of the most pressing challenges of the 21st century. As dynamic organ…

Superhydrophobic surfaces and materials received great attention of scientists and engineers due to their unwetting, self cleaning and antimicrobial properties. Hydrophobic surfaces are defined as having sessile water drop contact angle greater than 90°, while…

Çevre tasarımı; açık mekânların tasarlanması, düzenlenmesi sürecidir. Bu süreç, peyzaj mimarının yeteneğine, bilgi toplamasına, araştırma düzeyine bağlıdır. Çevre tasarım projesinin birçok aşaması vardır. Bunlar; altlık harita temini, alan sörveyi ve analizi, …

This study investigates the return on investment (ROI) of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in the construction industry and addresses common barriers to its adoption such as high start-up costs and lack of familiarity with the technology. Despite its prove…

Estetik, güzellik bilimi ya da doğanın armonisini öğrenme olarak tanımlanır ve estetik, doğadaki düzenden ve bu düzenin bireyde oluşturduğu memnuniyet duygusundan elde edilir. Peyzaj estetiği ise onu oluşturan bir öğeden değil,  peyzajın bütününden ve peyzaja …

Küresel ölçekte hızla artan kentleşme, doğal ekosistemlerin parçalanmasına ve kent içi yeşil alanların azalmasına yol açarak hem çevresel hem de sosyal sürdürülebilirlik açısından ciddi sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Özellikle küçük ölçekte planlanmamış kentsel b…

Cherry trees do not reproduce from seed. Desirable cultivars are grafted onto rootstocks which is generally clonally propagated. Many cherry rootstocks have been released around the world and a wide range of cherry rootstocks is available for growers. The cu…

This study emphasizes the significance of integrating Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), a systematic method used to evaluate the environmental impacts of a process throughout its entire life cycle, as a vital tool for cultural heritage conservation in Türkiye. The …

Exhaust gas distribution in street canyons is one of the important research subjects in urban air quality studies. Vehicle emissions are an important group of pollutants in urban areas. In this study, the dispersion of exhaust emissions from vehicles in canyon…

In this study, abrasive wear behaviors of Co-Cr-Mo alloy (ASTM F75) which is produced by casting method, were investigated. The prepared test samples were subjected to abrasive wear tests with different emery papers on the pin on disc wear device. In the abras…

In this article, the influence of the use of three different bricks on the building heat performance is compared for use on wall surfaces as a building construction element. At the beginning of the analysis, the thermal analysis of the building was carried out…

Urban areas have less vegetation than natural environment that surround it. Differences between these types of areas affect climate, energy use, and habitat in cities. In urban areas, dark surfaces and reduced vegetation warm affect the air over urban areas, l…

This paper explores the transformative role of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in enhancing stakeholder engagement in transportation infrastructure projects. Drawing on literature, real-world case studies, and survey results from 32 stakeholders, the rese…

This review explores the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in enhancing energy efficiency within heritage buildings, focusing on balancing sustainability goals with the preservation of historical and architectural integrity. AI technologies such as Building…

In this paper, a thermal insulation analysis was carried out for a building using paper waste reinforced clay brick as building material. Firstly, the analysis was made using two different normal wall bricks as building material for the sample building. Later,…

Courtyards hold significant functional value in both traditional and contemporary architecture. They serve as open-air spaces that facilitate social interaction for users within urban environments. In order for these spaces to be utilized more efficiently by u…

This study presents a comprehensive overview of biophilic design research that incorporates ecological considerations, specifically focusing on energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and sustainability. While biophilic design has traditionally emphasized human we…

Heritage restoration projects face numerous challenges, including the preservation of historical accuracy, effective stakeholder collaboration, and maintaining transparent records of interventions. This paper proposes a theoretical framework that integrates Bu…

This study offers a comparative analysis of construction risk management practices in the United Kingdom (UK) and Türkiye, focusing on regulatory frameworks, technological integration, and practical methodologies. The UK, utilizing the Construction (Design and…
