  A hierarchical metaheuristic framework for CPT-based soil liquefaction prediction with Kolmogorov–Arnold Network variants

  Günen, Mehmet Akif; Öztürk, Kaşif Furkan

  Soil liquefaction is a critical geotechnical hazard that threatens the safety of civil infrastructure under seismic loading, necessitating robust and interpretable prediction models. This study proposes a hierarchical framework for CPT-based soil liquefaction prediction using meta-heuristic-optimized Kolmogorov–Arnold Network (KAN) variants. The framework follows a two-stage optimization strategy. First, six state-of-the-art meta-heuristic algorithms are statistically compared to identify the most effective optimization method. Second, the selected algorithm is employed to optimize six KAN variants, including FastKAN, EfficientKAN, FourierKAN, ChebyKAN, JacobiRKAN, and PadéRKAN. Statistical comparisons based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrate that the Colony-Based Search algorithm (CSA) achieves lower objective-function values than the competing meta-heuristics (p<0.01) and is therefore adopted as the core optimization strategy. Performance evaluation reveals that the CSA-optimized ChebyKAN model achieves the highest predictive accuracy, with an F1 Score of 0.8875 ± 0.011 and an AUC of 0.9115 ± 0.013. Pairwise McNemar tests detected no statistically significant difference in classification decisions for any evaluated model pair (p>0.01). SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis identified qc, qc1N, and amax as the variables with the largest model-specific attributions, whereas d, c, and σv received lower attributions. A cost-sensitive error analysis further showed that ChebyKAN produced the lowest false-negative rate and the lowest asymmetric error cost under 5:1 and 10:1 false-negative-to-false-positive cost scenarios, supporting its conservative behaviour for safety-critical liquefaction screening. The results establish the proposed CSA–KAN framework as a reliable, high-accuracy, and interpretable solution for CPT-based soil liquefaction assessment in geotechnical engineering practice.

  Formulation of mechanical properties of hybrid fiber alkali-activated concretes by data analysis

  Aksut, Yavuz Selim; Yetgín, Sukru

  In this study, ground blast furnace slag (GBFS) and waste volcanic rock dust (RD) produced in a natural stone processing plant were used as binders. The binders were activated with Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Sodium Silicate (Na2SiO3) to produce two types of concrete: alkali-activated concrete without fibers (AAC) and alkali-activated concrete with fibers (FAAC). In the production of concrete, steel and polyester fibers were used separately and hybrid at 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75% and 1.0% by volume and a total of 117 15x15x15 cm cube specimens were produced. The mechanical properties of the specimens were evaluated by concrete surface hardness, ultrasonic pulse velocity and concrete compressive strength tests at 3, 7 and 28 days. The results obtained using non-destructive test methods were matched with concrete compressive strength values using various empirical formulas. Calculated concrete compressive strength values and actual concrete compressive strength values were compared using data analysis method. As a result, it was observed that there was a very significant correlation between the experimental compressive strength and the combined method in which 7-day surface hardness and ultrasound transmission rate were used together to calculate the compressive strength.

  Drivers’ Perceptions of Vertical Traffic Signs and Their Implications for Road Safety: Evidence from a Field Survey

  Durmus, Tahsin; Coruh, Emine

  Accurate perception and interpretation of the road environment are essential for safe driving. Vertical traffic signs play a key role in communicating warnings, regulations, and guidance to road users, thereby supporting safe and efficient traffic flow. However, their effectiveness depends not only on proper design and placement but also on how accurately and promptly they are perceived by drivers, which may be influenced by factors such as attention, cognitive workload, physical and mental condition, and fatigue. This study evaluates the contribution of selected vertical traffic signs to driving safety along a designated roadway section in Şanlıurfa, Türkiye. Face-to-face surveys were conducted with 480 active road users. Drivers’ knowledge, compliance behavior, safe route preferences, perceived visibility, and the effects of missing or inadequate signage were analyzed. The results indicate that driving exposure, education level, and experience significantly influence knowledge and perception of traffic signs, while compliance shows limited variation. These findings suggest that knowledge alone does not necessarily translate into behavioral compliance and underscore the importance of considering both driver-related factors and infrastructure characteristics in traffic safety strategies. The study provides practical insights for improving the visibility, placement, and overall effectiveness of vertical traffic signs in rapidly developing urban environments.

  Optimal design of a novel enhanced inerter-based tuned mass damper in seismic-excited structures considering SSI effects

  Araz, Onur; Shahraki, Mohammad Alibabaei

  This paper proposed a novel enhanced inerter-based tuned mass damper (E-TMDI) for the control of damped single-degree-of-freedom structures due to ground acceleration. The apparatus represents an energy-dissipating passive absorber assembled from a pair of inerter elements, a pair of springs, a single mass, and a single damper. The present work directly integrates soil-structure interaction (SSI) effects within the optimization process, thereby yielding more accurate and dependable outcomes. For a clearer insight into the control mechanism of E-TMDI, the frequency-domain transfer function for responses is derived, while the influences of various model parameters on the displacement amplitude magnification factor of the superstructure both considering and neglecting SSI are examined. Four design parameters (i.e., f 1 first frequency ratio, f 2 secondary frequency ratio, ξ1 damping ratio, and κ inertance ratio of the second inerter to the first) of E-TMDI are obtained using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to minimize peak displacement amplitude of the structure. Results from the frequency domain analyses in this research indicate that the proposed E-TMDI has better efficiency and frequency band property both traditional TMD and TMDI configurations when equipped with same total mass (μ) and inertance ratio (β) in suppressing structural vibrations. Additionally, the stability of the proposed device is examined through simulations of the E-TMDI-equipped structure under a range earthquake record. The findings reveal that the E-TMDI maintains superior effectiveness even when the host structure experiences diverse earthquake events. This validation, conducted under real earthquake records, confirms the reliability of this design framework, filling a significant gap in determining the seismic control performance of E-TMDI under varying soil conditions.

  A novel SSI-based optimization framework for non-traditional TMDI system under near- and far-fault ground motions

  Araz, Onur; Forcellini, Davide

  Previous studies on the optimal parameter selection of non-traditional tuned mass damper inerter (N-TMDI) system have predominantly adopted a fixed-base assumption. However, neglecting soil–structure interaction (SSI) in practical applications may lead to significant design inaccuracies and reduced control performance of the N-TMDI system. To overcome this limitation, a new design framework is proposed for the tuning of N-TMDI systems installed in primary structures subjected to ground motion by explicitly considering SSI effects. The novelty of the proposed approach consists of performing a hybrid GA-PSO optimization algorithm to study the efficiency of N-TMDI system under near- and far-field ground motions. This study investigates the influence of varying mass and inerter ratios on the system's dynamic response through frequency-domain analyses. The performance of the N-TMDI system is subsequently validated using real earthquake records, with a specific focus on the comparative effects of near-fault and far-fault ground motions under diverse soil conditions. The results demonstrate that the inerter mass ratio is the most dominant factor in enhancing seismic protection, significantly reducing structural displacement and acceleration compared to conventional TMD. Furthermore, the findings reveal that SSI and the distinct characteristics of ground motions significantly modify the system's control efficiency. This research confirms the robustness of the optimized N-TMDI design, providing a reliable and efficient strategy for seismic structural control under varied seismic scenarios.

  Comparison of Aluminum Composite Sandwich and Traditional Reinforced Concrete Slab Frame Systems in Terms of Dynamic and Global Behavior

  Demirağ, Özgül; Öztekin, Ertekin

  The high mass of traditional reinforced concrete (RC) slabs significantly increases seismic forces in buildings. While lightweight aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) composite slabs offer radical mass reduction, their global seismic performance and interaction with diaphragm flexibility in RC frames remain underexplored. This study presents a linear elastic comparative analysis of pure RC moment frames (1–6 stories), contrasting traditional slabs with AFS slabs under both rigid and semi-rigid diaphragm assumptions. All models were optimally designed to meet identical Eurocode serviceability and stability limits, ensuring a fair comparison via response spectrum analysis. Results show that AFS slabs reduce total structural weight by 33.5–45.9%. This mass reduction, combined with period elongation in semi-rigid models, substantially decreases elastic seismic demands: story shear forces are reduced by 30.9–45.1% for rigid-diaphragm models and by up to 64.3% for semi-rigid ones, while column axial loads decrease by up to 33.7%. All systems satisfied code drift and stability criteria. It is concluded that AFS slabs can dramatically lower seismic mass and elastic force demands while maintaining serviceability, with semi-rigid action providing additional reductions. These conclusions are derived from linear elastic analysis and are applicable to pure frame systems; nonlinear performance and behavior in dual systems require future investigation.

  Energy-based wind vibration control of turbines equipped with nonlinear tuned mass damper inerter considering soil-structure interaction

  Alibabaei Shahraki, Mohammad; Araz, Onur

  This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Nonlinear Tuned Mass Damper Inerter (NTMDI) in mitigating wind-induced vibrations in wind turbines, with explicit consideration of soil–structure interaction (SSI). Kinetic energy is selected as the primary response metric, supported by nacelle displacement, total structural energy, soil energy absorption, acceleration reduction, and residual soil energy to provide a comprehensive assessment. A detailed numerical model is developed in OpenSees, incorporating SSI effects and subjected to turbulent wind loads generated using the Shinozuka method. NTMDI parameters are optimized using the Multi-Objective Cuckoo Search Algorithm (MOCS) to balance kinetic-energy minimization, displacement suppression, and soil-energy management. The results show that NTMDI implementation achieves approximately 45% reduction in total kinetic energy, 20% reduction in nacelle displacement, and 25% reduction in tower acceleration relative to the uncontrolled system. When SSI is considered, the NTMDI further improves performance by reducing soil energy demand by an additional 15–20%, highlighting the importance of absorber–soil coupling. Compared with traditional TMDIs, the NTMDI exhibits superior adaptability and efficiency, particularly for flexible foundations. These findings confirm NTMDIs as an effective passive control strategy for enhancing wind-turbine stability.

  Effects of earthquake frequency content and isolation thickness on seismic behavior of a structure system resting on geotechnical seismic isolation layer

  Ozturk, Kasif Furkan; Cakir, Tufan; Araz, Onur

  Geotechnical seismic isolation (GSI) systems aim to partially dissipate the energy before it reaches the foundation of the structure system and are therefore regarded as an important alternative to structural seismic isolation systems. In addition, the use of petroleum-derived waste materials in the GSI systems fills a significant gap in the field of waste recovery. The present study investigates the changes in the dynamic responses of a 5-story building system with and without GSI, using a set of earthquakes classified according to their frequency content. For this purpose, parametric analyses were performed using analytical methods, considering three different earthquake frequency contents and six different GSI thicknesses. Furthermore, an approach for selecting the GSI thickness was suggested. The results generally show that, for structures founded on both natural soil (NS) and GSI systems, the earthquakes with low frequency content produce responses greater than the average responses calculated for all the investigated earthquakes. Although increasing the GSI thickness has a significant effect on attenuating structural responses, increasing this thickness beyond 3 m does not lead to a relatively significant reduction in the dynamic responses of the investigated structural system. Therefore, considering the structural system, NS, rubber-soil mixtures and earthquakes examined in this study, selecting a GSI thickness in the range of 2–3 m (inclusive) may be regarded as a practical approach for mitigating the dynamic responses of the structure since further increments in thickness beyond this range provide only progressively limited improvements in structural responses. Consequently, this research may provide meaningful data for the development of vibration control strategies to improve seismic resilience of structures, and the results are expected to be useful for better understanding of the GSI applications.

  The Trend of Monthly Mean Streamflow Values and Regimes in the Susurluk Basin (Türkiye) with Mountain and Semi-Arid Climates

  Yıldız, Mehmet Berkant; Toğrul, Burçe; Kankal, Murat; Akçay, Fatma; Şan, Murat; Nacar, Sinan

  This study diagnoses monthly trends in streamflow magnitude and regime for the Susurluk Basin (Türkiye), which spans semi-arid and mountainous sub-climates. Monthly records from 1990 to 2019 were analyzed at 14 stream gauges and nine precipitation stations. Trends are assessed with the Mann–Kendall (MK) test alongside recent graphical approaches, Improved Visualization for Innovative Trend Analyses (IV-ITA) to resolve value class-based (low/high) behavior, and Innovative Polygon Trend Analysis (IPTA) with the Star Concept to quantify intra-annual transitions. Before the trend analyses, the stations were tested to determine whether their values were homogeneous, and any inhomogeneous stations were excluded from the study. The consistency between the trends of nine precipitation stations and the streamflow data in the basin was analyzed. Across the basin, the average streamflow increased by approximately 40–60% between January and March at many measurement points. However, it then decreased by around 80% in April, albeit at a more moderate rate in December. This suggests significant rebalancing occurred during the December–April period, when most of the annual streamflow occurs. IV-ITA exhibits broadly similar trends for both low and high streamflow classes, with notable exceptions in January–February. Precipitation–streamflow trend directions are largely consistent in the high-flow season (December–April), supporting the notion that climatic control influences the detected shifts. To contextualize these signals, basin-wide land-use/land-cover shifts (1990–2018), notably urban growth, forest expansion, and cropland reconfiguration, provide process context, indicating that a larger fraction of rainfall is routed as fast surface runoff while infiltration and base streamflow recharge decline, alongside seasonally modified water demand. Collectively, the MK+IV-ITA+IPTA framework reveals class-specific and intra-annual dynamics that are obscured by monolithic tests alone and provides decision-relevant evidence for allocation, drought–flood risk, and operations in an intensively managed basin.
