title: Lidar Scans of Geotechnical Earthquake Damage at Building Sites in Gölbaşı, Adıyaman
title: in GEER Lidar Data from the 2023 Kahramanmaras Earthquake Sequence Reconnaissance

description: This data was gathered during the Geotechnical Extreme Events Reconnaissance (GEER) efforts following the February 6, 2023, Kahramanmaraş earthquake sequence. This dataset is comprised of terrestrial lidar scan point clouds that aim to capture liquefaction-induced building settlement, building-ground interactions, and ground deformations. The objective of the reconnaissance efforts was to capture perishable data on ground failures and liquefaction-induced infrastructure damage due to these earthquakes.

Reconnaissance was performed from March 27 to April 1, 2023 in and around İskenderun, Hatay; Gölbaşı, Adıyaman; and Antakya, Hatay. Lidar scans were performed in İskenderun and Gölbaşı at selected liquefaction building sites. The reconnaissance sites were selected as those where there was evidence of liquefaction (e.g., ejecta) and liquefaction-induced building settlements, as well as building-ground interactions, and site access.

The processed lidar data are included as .las point cloud files; raw data are included as .fls files. The point cloud data may be viewed and analyzed in point cloud analysis software, including the opensource software CloudCompare. Additional images of the surveyed buildings are included for reference. An explanation of the data types and structure is found in the README.pdf file.

These data may be used to investigate earthquake liquefaction-induced building settlements, building-ground interactions, and liquefaction-induced ground deformations. These data will be of use and interest to engineers and researchers working in the area of liquefaction ground failures and building-ground interactions.

Additional information and data from this reconnaissance are available in the GEER reports, which are referenced in the "Related Works" section.

title: Dynamic shaker testing of a ten-story reinforced concrete building
title: in NSF #1235496: Pre/Post Earthquake Damage Assessment for Infilled RC Frame Buildings

description: Dynamic shaker tests were performed on a ten-story concrete infilled RC frame structure to obtain its dynamic properties and their changes due to the damage introduced during the tests. The test structure was extensively instrumented using an array of 60 accelerometers which were installed at two opposite corners of each floor slab except for the roof. An eccentric mass shaker was installed over the second story slab to produce harmonic excitations along the two horizontal directions and at a 45-degree angle between those. A total of 87 forced vibration excitations were performed and 52 hours of ambient vibrations were recorded during the testing period. Moreover, during the wall demolition process, free vibration responses of the structure due to the impulses imposed by a jack hammer used for infill demolition were recorded.
description: The aim of the proposed research is to develop a framework for the reliable assessment of damage in existing reinforced concrete frames infilled with masonry walls. The data obtained from field testing will be used to validate finite element models and damage identification techniques. The combination of the two tools will allow the derivation of a damage index that can be used to identify the state of a structure prior or after an extreme event. Emphasis will be given in modeling the three-dimensional behavior of the structure including the out-of-plane behavior of the infill walls. Moreover, simplified models will be developed and validated with the results of the detailed analytical models. The buildings that were the focal point of this experimental and analytical study were selected because they were damaged/deteriorated due to earthquakes or severe winters. The data obtained from the forced vibrations of the building will also be used for the validation of the analytical tools. In summary, the proposed research includes full-scale tests that will push a damaged structure further into the nonlinear behavior; finite element models to capture the in- and out-of-plane interactions between the infills and the bounding frame; validation of the model with data obtained from the tests, as well as validation with data from previous earthquakes; and development and validation of a system and damage identification techniques for the quantification of damage in a real structure.

title: A Database for Surface Ground Motions in KiK-net

description: A new KiK-net database is developed based on the surface ground motions recorded between October 8, 1997 and November 14, 2021 from Kiban-Kyoshin network (KiK-net) (https://www.doi.org/10.17598/NIED.0004). The database includes various flatfiles which can be categorized into three types.
Type 1 consists of one flatfile with the information about each ground motion recording. This information includes but not limited to source, path and site properties. The results obtained from F-net (https://www.fnet.bosai.go.jp) is among the source properties, path and site parameters and properties are calculated based on previous studies.
Type 2 consists of six flatfiles that include Fourier amplitude spectra (FAS) and 5%-damped pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA) of horizontal and vertical components. FAS is smoothed using Konno-Ohmachi (1998) method with two different smoothing parameters b=20 and 40.
Type 3 consists of fifteen flatfiles that include (a) average horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) and its corresponding standard deviation, and (b) the maximum-likelihood estimate of site fundamental frequency (f_ml), its corresponding amplitude (A_ml), and their associated uncertainties based on Yazdi et al. (2022). The HVSR and HVSR-based proxies (i.e., f_ml, A_ml and their uncertainties) are calculated for FAS (b=20), FAS (b=40) and PSA.
This database presents (a) the latest important earthquakes which are not available in the previous databases, (b) the FAS and PSA of both horizontal and vertical components, (c) the average HVSR and the HVSR-based proxies. In addition, the flatfiles in this database can be used by engineers and seismologists to improve/develop ground motion models for Japan.

title: Data underlying chapters 4 and 5 of the PhD dissertation: Experimental thermodynamic analysis of premixed methanol combustion in marine spark and compression ignition engine

description: This repository dataset comprises the experimental data (raw and processed) and diagnostic analysis codes supporting the results presented in Chapters 4 and 5 of the PhD thesis, “Experimental thermodynamic analysis of premixed methanol combustion in marine spark and compression ignition engines.”<br>This part of the research develops a combustion mode analysis framework to apply to the experimental studies conducted on a single-cylinder diesel engine setup running on methanol premixed dual-fuel operation. The experimental heat release analysis has the same foundation as the one in Chapter 3 and the NG LBSI engine. The framework employed for the experimental data analysis codes is primarily described in Chapter 4, since Chapter 5 primarily expands this framework by applying it to more datasets analysing the parametric investigations on the engine.

title: Exploring the impact of altitude variability and apple genotype on the epiphytic microbiome

description: Studying fruit microbial communities has been instrumental in understanding how this plant-associated microbiome influences key host functionalities. However, the impact of environmental changes and host genotype on this microbiome is unclear. This research aims to analyse, using 16S rRNA and ITS amplicon sequencing, the potential effect of altitudinal conditions and genotype on the epiphytic apple microbiome. Looking for key microbial genera with potential as biocontrol or pathogenic agents and characterizing each cultivar's core microbiome. The results revealed that the microbial communities on the apple peel comprise 64 bacterial and 49 fungal genera. Fungal diversity was affected by altitude, while bacterial assemblies varied across cultivars. Within these communities, some microorganisms with potential beneficial activity were detected in the valley which showed higher abundance than mountain orchards, suggesting a localized influence of environmental conditions. The core microbiome of each cultivar revealed significant genotype-dependent microbial associations and included several beneficial microbial taxa such as <i>Aureobasidium</i> and <i>Vishniacozyma</i>. These insights further our understanding of the interactions between plant genotypes, geographical location, and fruit epiphytic communities, revealing in the process possible biocontrol candidates. This information plays an important role in the pursuit of new modern agricultural methodologies that could minimise the reliance on chemical pesticides.

title: Beyond the pesticides: analysing the role of farm advisory services towards eco-friendly farming to reduce pesticide use in Pakistan

description: Pesticides are considered essential agricultural input but are used excessively, neglecting environmental and human health concerns. This study examines how the adoption of eco-friendly farming practices can effectively reduce reliance on pesticides. Using Tobit and Probit models on a dataset of 484 mango farmers, the study analyses the role of farm advisory systems in Pakistan. The results reveal that farmers receiving public and private extension services are more or less likely to adopt eco-friendly farming practices, respectively. Farmers who adopted eco-friendly methods applied fewer pesticide applications than those were solely dependent on pesticides. Farmers who borrowed agricultural inputs from input dealers or suppliers were solely dependent on pesticides and less likely to adopt eco-friendly practices. The findings also show that farmers who adopted eco-friendly practices, reduced the pesticide use, experienced lower infestation losses and improved farm well-being. The study suggests that policymakers should regulate private extension services to prioritize the dissemination of eco-friendly practices and promote sustainable agricultural practices, rather than focusing solely on pesticide use.
