Shaking Table

To perform real-time dynamic experiments, the uni-axis "ARI-I Shaking Table" with a plan size of 2.35 X 2.35 m was put into service in 2014. The project budget of US$ 250,000 was provided by 19 individuals and organizations, most of whom are ITU graduates. The shaking table, whose original design and production in terms of mechanics, electricity, hydraulics, and software were carried out in our country, has been used effectively since it entered into service.

As part of the TU11 STAMP project, the Memmert 105L Carbon Dioxide Curing Chamber has been acquired by the Structural and Earthquake Engineering Laboratory (STEELab) at ITU.

This advanced equipment enables precise control of curing processes under a controlled CO² environment, allowing material behavior to be investigated under more realistic and reproducible conditions.

As a key component of the STAMP project, the device will be actively utilized in the development and optimization of sustainable, low-carbon, and high-performance rammed earth construction mixtures.

This investment significantly strengthens YDMLab’s capacity in innovative, sustainable, and data-driven research. It also directly contributes to our national and international research objectives aimed at advancing low-carbon construction technologies.

?? We continue to bring science and engineering together for a more sustainable built environment.

SLABTRACK  Fatigue Test

The "TCDD - ITU HASLAB Fatigue Testing Laboratory", which was established in Haydarpasa within the scope of the "Evaluation of Railway Bridges" project carried out within the framework of the NATO Science for Stability Program under the management of Prof. Dr. Erdogan Uzgider and provided service for many years, ended its activities in 2015. Within the framework of the protocol signed between the Faculty of Civil Engineering and TCDD in March 2016, all the instruments used in this laboratory and the steel fatigue frame were brought to STEELab. The steel fatigue frame was revised and re-established per the STEELab layout plan. The electronic components of the MTS 244.41 hydraulic actuators, hydraulic hoses and data transfer cables, control units, and software that constitute the fatigue testing system were updated with the opportunity provided by another R&D project. The modernized system is actively used in railway infrastructure product tests.

The private laboratory building projects where STEELab provides services began to be prepared in 1973, and the construction was completed in 1978.  In the previous period, there was a reinforced concrete laboratory in the basement of the Taskisla Building, and reinforced concrete beam tests were carried out within the scope of the "Strength of Reinforced Concrete Structures" course given by Prof.Dr. Kemal Ozden.  After the new laboratory building was installed in 1978, creep tests were carried out on reinforced concrete elements by Prof.Dr. Rifat Yarar.

Full-scale ballasted railway track experiments

Full-scale ballasted railway track experiments at İTÜ YDMLab (İTÜ Yapı ve Deprem Mühendisliği Laboratuvarı) focus on simulating real-world train axle loads and vibrations on ballast and slab trackbeds. Conducted in their 1688 m² test facility, these advanced experiments utilize massive reaction floors and dynamic actuators to accurately replicate high-speed rail dynamic conditions and long-term track settlement
