International Conference on “Cement – Based Materials Tailored for a Sustainable Future” will take place in Boğaziçi University with the participation of world – renowned scholars and experts. The conference aims to gather researchers and industrial experts from around the world who specialize on cement-based materials to share and spread knowledge in an effort to increase awareness on the importance of the sustainable cementitious systems.
D-Coded BAP project “Analysis of Physiological Risk Factors for Occupational Accidents in Construction Industry” was recently awarded to Dr. Semra Çomu Yapıcı. The first stage of data collection was completed by the Ph.D. candidate, Gökhan Kazar.
Dr. Serdar Selamet was awarded a grant for his project entitled " Experimental Investigation of the Fire Performance of Parallel Strand Steel Cables " (218M550) by The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TÜBİTAK) within the scope of 1002: Short-term R&D Funding Program on February 1, 2019.
Dr. Serdar Selamet delivered a workshop on Fire Engineering for International Civil Engineering and Architecture Conference (ICEARC) in Trabzon, Turkey on 17-20 April, 2019. He also presented a conference proceeding co-authored with Aykut Onursal on 16. The proceeding was entitled “Stability of Steel Portal Frames in Industrial Buildings Under Natural Fire Conditions”.
Dr. Serdar Selamet was invited as keynote speaker to “30th anniversary of Atak Engineering Structural Steel, Analysis and Design Conference” on 15-16 October, 2018.
A new TÜBİTAK 1001 project with the collaboration of Özyeğin University, Boğaziçi University and Sabancı University was accepted. An automated system enabling additive manufacturing of fiber cement-based composites will be developed in the scope of the project. Results and dissemination of the work will significantly contribute to the state-of-art and be one of the pioneering studies leading the technological advancement of additive manufacturing in construction.
It is with great saddness that we have learned the passing away of our colleague Mete A. Sözen.
After having graduated from Robert College (RC'51), Dr. Sözen obtained his PhD form the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. He served on the Faculty of UIUC for most of his tenure, he last held the position of Kettelhut Distinguished Professor of Structural Engineering at Purdue University.
His impact on the prrofession has been recognized though many prestigious awards including and honorary doctorate from Boğaziçi University.
