In this thesis, 2D and 3D FEM analysis results are compared with field measurements of a top down deep excavation in Bağcılar Metro Station which is on the Otogar - Bağcılar Light Rail Transit Line in İstanbul. First, a literature review on deep excavations is performed. The soil formation observed in the project site is Güngören formation and the dominant soil type is silty clay. After selecting the soil parameters and soil models, 2D and 3D models of the excavation are analyzed by FEM programs PLAXIS2D and PLAXIS3D. Deformation measurements taken by inclinometers are compared with the calculated deformations from FEM. The thesis study shows that lateral displacements of 2D analysis are between 3 and 4 times larger than the inclinometer measurements and 3D analysis. Moreover, 3D analysis results and inclinometer measurements are approximately same.

Determination of tunnel support systems of Belkahve (İzmir) tunnel with empirical and numerical methods
Domaniç, Can Murat; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2016)
In this study, determining the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the Belkhave tunnel with a length of 1650 m and width of 16 m along Manisa-İzmir Highway, selecting the appropriate support system and verifying with numerical modeling are aimed. Limestone and schist are the main lithologies along the Belkahve tunnel. RMR, Q and NATM classification systems are used to classify the rock mass. Appropriate support systems are determined by using these classification methods. In order to verify the d...
Stability analysis, displacement monitoring and justification of the critical sections of the Konak tunnel
Yertutanol, Kadir; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2015)
The main focus of this research is numerical analysis and preliminary support design for the critical sections of the twin tube Konak Tunnel that was constructed in a highly populated area in Konak, İzmir. The displacements of the tunnel were monitored and justified by comparing with the results of the numerical analyses. The stability of the tunnel exit portal and associated slopes, which is one of the most challenging sections of the project, was analyzed as well. In study area, volcanics, pyroclastics an...
Parametric cost estimation system for light rail transit and metro trackworks
Gunduz, Murat; Ugur, Latif Onur; Ozturk, Erhan (Elsevier BV; 2011-03-01)
The main objective of this work is to develop early cost estimation models for light rail transit and metro trackworks using the multivariable regression and artificial neural network approaches. These two approaches were applied to a data set of 16 projects by using 17 parameters available at the early design phase. The regression analysis estimated the cost of testing samples with an error of 2.32%. On the other hand, artificial neural network estimated the cost with 5.76% error, which was slightly higher...
Assessing the Link between Rail Transit Usage and Multimodal Integration
Özgür Cevher, Özge; Altıntaşı, Oruç; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Babalık Sutclıffe, Ela (null; 2016-01-08)
Current planning literature considers rail transit usage a function of neighborhood design (ND) parameters (such as density, diversity and connectivity) around station areas at a micro-level. However, during the early development stages of a rail transit system in a city, integration with the other modes may be equally influential on the rail transit usage, which must be determined. For this purpose, ridership data of 14 rail transit stations were evaluated based on both i) ND design parameters and ii) mult...
An Investigation of seismic face stability of deep tunnels by using an axisymmetric finite element model
Hadley, Hannah Elizabeth; Sucuoğlu, Haluk; Yılmaz, Mustafa Tolga; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
The static stability of tunnel faces has been widely studied, with the development of limit analysis and numerical modelling solutions. There has been limited research into seismic tunnel face stability. The aim of this study is to find the effect of seismic loading on tunnel face stability and suggest factors that could be used in design. A numerical model using the axisymmetric finite element method is developed to assess tunnel face stability under seismic loading. To verify the numerical analysis, it wa...
