معرفی
Dr. İbrahim ÖZ is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering at Ahi Evran University's Faculty of Engineering and Architecture, Turkey, holding this position since 2021 with full-time status. His expertise centers on structural engineering, specifically earthquake-resistant design and soil-structure interaction phenomena in reinforced concrete systems.
Education:
- PhD in Civil Engineering, Pamukkale University (2015-2021)
- Master's in Civil Engineering, Pamukkale University (2012-2015)
- BSc in Civil Engineering, Karadeniz Technical University (2008-2012)
Dr. ÖZ's research investigates reinforced concrete structures, earthquake engineering, and structural dynamics with emphasis on soil-structure interaction effects. His work addresses seismic fragility of Turkish building stock, torsional behavior in irregular structures, and mitigation strategies like tuned mass dampers, particularly informed by the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. He also explores geotechnical aspects including clay stabilization using industrial byproducts for enhanced seismic performance.
Analysis of his 10 publications (2020-2025) reveals consistent focus on soil-structure interaction impacts on seismic response, with specialized attention to pounding effects between adjacent buildings and torsional irregularities in L-shaped RC structures. His research combines computational modeling with real-world case studies, including hospital resilience assessments and post-earthquake evaluations of Turkish infrastructure, demonstrating practical applications for seismic safety regulations.
Scientific Awards: No awards or fellowships documented in available records.
Dr. ÖZ currently advises master's student Mizbah Omur on soil-structure interaction analysis after the 2023 Kahramanmaraş earthquakes. As researcher for the project "Evaluation of Existing Buildings According to TBDY-2018 Using Linear Elastic Calculation Method" (2021-2023), he contributed to seismic assessment methodologies for Turkey's building stock. His collaborative network spans domestic institutions including Pamukkale University and Başkent University, with international partnerships involving researchers from the UK and Greece.
Active in professional practice since 2012 as a member of the Chamber of Civil Engineers, he integrates academic research with practical engineering challenges, particularly relevant to Turkey's high seismic risk environment.
