«International Conference on Cement-Based Materials Tailored for a Sustainable Future» was held on 27-29, May 2021 in a virtual environment. During the conference which was organized in honour of Prof. Surendra Shah and Prof. Turan Ozturan, researchers and experts from all around the world came together to share latest knowledge on cement-based materials. Sixty six (66) papers including 7 keynote lectures were presented during 3 days (16 sessions).
The master's thesis titled ‘’Real Time Traffic Management with Interconnected Smart Vehicles: D100 Highway Study’’ of Ali Atilla Arısoy and thesis advisor Assoc. Prof. Ilgın Gökaşar was awarded the best master’s thesis award by Turkish Road Association (YTMK). This thesis also received Bogazici University Selçuk Halaç Award in 2020. The thesis was completed within the scope of the scientific research project "Real Time Traffic Management in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow Using Connected Vehicles" (BAP Pr. No: 15387 Pr. Code: 19A04R2)
In the scope of the project Construction Materials research group will study on textile-reinforced 3D printable cementitious composite materials with one of the leading textile research institutes of the world to understand the possibilities of employing textile omposites in 3D printed elements/components.
Ilgın Gökaşar was awarded “ITS Turkey Special Award” for the project titled “Real Time Traffic Management in Uninterrupted Traffic Flow Using Connected Vehicles” (Scientific Research Projects-BAP BOUN-Multidisciplinary Project No: 15387 Project Code: 19A04R2)
Zeynep Yıldırım is leading a Start up (SUP) -coded BAP Project entitled Two-dimensional (2D) & Three-dimensional (3D) Effects on Stability Analysis of Slopes and Slopes Stabilized With Piles. The project budget is approximately 275K and will continue through 2022.
As Boğaziçi University, Civil Engineering Department, we aim to create an e-mail platform to share with you the developments in our department and opportunities in the business world. This group will include only BU Civil Engineering Department alumni and department lecturers. Limited sharing will be made in our group, in summary, we will ONLY share new / possible job opportunities and important announcements. Our main goal will be to increase the solidarity among our graduates and to stay in touch with you as the Department.
A SMART GATE THAT PROTECTS THE GOLDEN HORN FROM OIL SPILLS
Our PhD student Muhammed Aslan and his co-author Emre Otay have discovered a ‘smart gate’ between the Strait of Istanbul and the Golden Horn (Haliç). During mild weather, the mechanism flushes the estuarine with fresh currents of the Strait. On stormy days however, forming eddies block the entrance and keep the historic inlet safe of contaminants from possible oil spill accidents in the Bosphorus.

Dr. Semra Çomu Yapıcı instructed CE 495 Introduction to BIM elective course in the fall semester of 2020. Twenty students successfully completed the course. Since the COVID-19 forced all face-to-face courses to distance learning, sadly, we were not on campus. However, CE 495 students created the virtual version of historical buildings on the South Campus!! It was like we were on campus. They all did a great job! We are thrilled to see the realistic 3D models of our beautiful campus buildings.
Ilgın Gökaşar’s most recent research is about using autonomous vehicles for traffic management. She is looking forward to present her proposed methodologies to the industry and the academy. She talked about her experiences during this project and her vision for the future of autonomous vehicles.

Nihan Bilgin, an MS student of Civil Engineering, has been awarded with the Mete A. Sözen Scholarship in Structural and Earthquake Engineering for the 2020 -2021 academic year.
We hope that Dr. Sözen’s spirit and contributions will live on through this scholarship which is awarded each year to an outstanding graduate student at the Civil Engineering Department.
Ilgın Gökaşar is awarded a 1001 Scientific and Technological Research Funding Program grant for his project entitled “Traffic Incident Management in Uninterrupted Flows Using Connected Autonomous Vehicles” by TÜBİTAK (Project Code: 120M574).
The aim of this program is to support research in Turkey for generating new information, interpreting scientific findings, or solving technological problems on a scientific basis.
Congrats to CE Faculty who ran the Istanbul Marathon 2020- committed to the Sustainable Development Goals!
