Demirbilek village is located within the close neighbourhood of the Demirbilek open cast mine. The stripping operation at the mine is done by bench blasting. The blasting induced ground vibration already caused the structural damage in the buildings at the above mentioned village. Therefore, the control and minimization of ground vibrations constitutes the aim and the scope of this research work. The research work consisted of monitoring of vibration, characterising the seismic waves, determination of magnitude and frequency of the waves. Total number of vibration records are 102 for single hole blasts and 4 for round blasts. These studies were followed by a critical evaluation and proposals for new blast designs. The proposed blast designs were also validated by further monitoring. As a result the best blasting practice was selected and offered to control and minimize the ground vibrations. Findings of the study show that, to perform productive, time and cost saving blasting at least 30 to 50 Kg charge must be used per blasthole. Moreover, it is understood that at less than 100 m of absolute distances both single hole and round blasts cause cosmetic cracking on the structures. For more than 100 m of absolute distances, it is recommended to perform round blasts by using 60ms delay period to eliminate structural damage. Depending on the feet that the minimum amount of charge per hole is 30 kgs, the prevention of human disturbance is not possible for distances below 350 meters. It is understood that single hole blasts are not time and cost effective. Therefore, the use of round blasts with optimum delay time is recommended.

Ground vibration assessment at y-3 panel of Tunçbilek open pit lignite mine
Büyükyıldırım, Kürşad; Bilgin, Hasan Aydın; Department of Mining Engineering (2005)
Yörgüç village is within the close neighbourhood of the Western Lignite Corporation Y-3 panel. Although the nearest part of the mine is 1100 m and the farthest part is 2500 m from the village at present, some of the villagers complained about the ground vibration at the past. Therefore the assessment of damage risk and, if any, control and minimization of vibrations constitutes the aim and the scope of this research work. The researh work consists of monitoring of vibration, characterising of the seismic wa...
Rockfall hazard analysis for a Castle in Kastamonu Turkey
Topal, Tamer; Akın, Mutluhan (2012-01-01)
The Kastamonu Castle located on a sandstone hill with Eocene age is one of the most historical and touristic places in Kastamonu city center. The settlement of the city expanded towards the hill of the Kastamonu Castle and adversely affected by rockfalls in the past. The rockfall problems around the castle could be related to jointing, weathering, freezing-thawing and earthquake effects or a combination. In this study, the rockfall hazard at the castle is evaluated by two-dimensional rockfall analyses along...
Causes and effects of urban transformation processes on the cultural heritage in Hacı Bayram area, Ulus /
Demiröz, Merve; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman; Conservation of Cultural Heritage in Department of Architecture (2015)
Hacı Bayram Area is located on the top ofa small hill on the north-westenı part of the Ankara Citadel in Ulus Historic Center. Co-existance of the Temple of Augus tus and Hacı Bayram Veli Mosque as a symbol of spatial continuity throughout the history and surrounding traditional neighbourhoods give the area its unique charac teristics. The Hacı Bayram Square and surrounding environment, which is called as Hacı Bayram Area throughout the history, has always became one of the focal points of huge interventi...
Geology of the Idis Dagı Avanos area Nevşehir Central Anatolia
Köksal, Serhat (1997-01-01)
İdiş Dağı-Avanos area is located on the northeast of Nevşehir, and is a part of the Central Anatolian Crystalline Complex. The basement rocks of the study area constitue? Mesozoic aged Aşıgediği Metamorphics, that represent the uppermost unit of the Central Anatolian Metamorphics and consist of platform type meta-carbonates. İdiş Dağı Syenitoid, composed of quartz syenite, alkali feldspar quartz syenite and quartz monzonite intruded the Aşıgediği Metamorphics, and generated contact metamorphic zones. Karahı...
MODELING OF THE 1939 ERZINCAN, TURKEY (MS~7.8)EARTHQUAKE: OBSERVATIONS ON ANTICIPATED GROUNDMOTIONS AND FELT INTENSITY DISTRIBUTION
Karimzadeh, Shaghayegh; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül (2018-06-18)
Located within a pull-apart basin at the conjunction of three active faults (North Anatolian, North East Anatolian and Ovacik Faults), Erzincan city center is one of the most hazardous regions of the world. Combination of the seismotectonic and geological settings of the region has resulted in series of significant seismic activities including the 27 December 1939 (Ms=8.0) and the 13 March 1992 (Mw=6.6) events. The former earthquake was in the pre-instrumental era in the region with no available local seism...
