Geotechnical Investigations at two NPP Sites in Turkey
Karpuz, Celal (null; 1988-09-12)
The geotechnical investigations carried out at two different NPP sites are Part of the detailed site investigation program. It includes studies such as, assessment of rock mass conditions encountered at the two NPP sites and determination of geotechnical parameters by field investigations, determination of physical and mechanical properties of the basic rock types by laboratory tests, evaluation of the stability of foundations and pit slopes under design loading conditions by engineering analyses. Based on ...
Shear mode fracture toughness of rock with different core-based specimen geometries
Het, Kıvanç; Tutluoğlu, Levend; Department of Mining Engineering (2014)
Shear mode fracture toughness tests on core specimens of gabbro rock were conducted. Tests were conducted under three-point bending and Brazilian type indirect compression load. In order to investigate the reasons for having different fracture toughness values with the different testing methods and geometries, modeling with ABAQUS software was conducted. Stress distributions around the mode II notches were analyzed. In order to assess which specimen geometry results in similar stress distributions as in the...

Probabilistic-numerical modeling of stability of a rock slope in Amasya-Turkey
Gheibie, Sohrab; Akgün, Aykut; Department of Mining Engineering (2011)
Rock slope stability is considered as one of the most important fields in rock engineering. Developments of computation facilities and increase in application of sophisticated mathematical concepts in engineering problems have also affected the methods of slope stability analysis. In recent years, the numerical modeling methods have extensively applied instead of limit equilibrium methods. Also, the probabilistic methods are considered in rock slope designs to quantify the uncertainties of input effecting v...
Rock mass characterization and primary support design for the Boztepe Tunnel, Turkey
Sopaci, E.; Akgün, Haluk; Akinci, M. (Taylor & Francis Group -CRC Press; 2005-12-01)
The Ordu province in local scale and northeastern Turkey in regional scale comprise of volcanic arc related rock masses. These modes of origin accommodate both volcanic and flysch type rock masses that have transitions so often with each other. The Boztepe tunnel will mostly be driven through this type of lithol-ogy. In order to assess the rock masses surrounding the tunnel from a geotechnical point of view; surface, subsurface and laboratory investigations have been implemented. Internationally accepted ro...
