Stabilization of expansive soils by using red mud
Çağlar, Cemre; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Expansive soils are generally existing in semi-arid and arid regions of the world. This type of soils expands when they absorb water and shrink when they dry out. Expansive soils are causing problems to the lightweight structures. The purpose of the study is to suggest a cost-effective alternative method for coping with these problems. The widely used traditional method is the stabilization of the soil with the chemical admixtures. In this study; waste red mud and waste fly ash were used as stabilizers. The...
Stabilization of Expansive Soils by Using Aggregate Waste, Rock Powder and Lime
Yeşilbaş, Gülşah; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2004)
Expansive soils are a worldwide problem that poses several challenges for civil engineers. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. The most common and economical method for stabilizing these soils is using admixtures that prevent volume changes. In this study the effect of using rock powder and aggregate waste with lime in reducing the swelling potential is examined. The expansive soil used in this study is prepared in the laboratory by mixturing kaolinite and bentonite....
Stabilization of expansive soils using waste marble dust
Başer, Onur; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2009)
Expansive soils occurring in arid and semi-arid climate regions of the world cause serious problems on civil engineering structures. Such soils swell when given an access to water and shrink when they dry out. Several attempts are being made to control the swell-shrink behavior of these soils. Soil stabilization using chemical admixtures is the oldest and most widespread method of ground improvement. In this study, waste limestone dust and waste dolomitic marble dust, by-products of marble industry, were us...

Retrofit of Non-Ductile RC Frames with Precast Concrete (PC) Wall Panels
BARAN, MEHMET; Tankut, Tugrul (2011-12-01)
An economic, structurally effective and practically applicable strengthening method had been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) framed buildings. This study presents the test results on strengthening of deficient RC frames by using high strength precast concrete (PC) panels. The idea of the method is to convert the existing hollow brick infill wall into a load carrying system by bonding PC panels on to the plastered hollow brick infills. For this purpose, six (two reference and four strengthened) one-th...
