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 determined support systems, 2D finite element analyses are performed to check the stabilities of seven sections through the tunnel route. The primary support systems determined according to RMR, Q and NATM and 4-6 m long bolt with intervals of 1-1.5 m, 10-30 cm shotcrete, steel sets wherever required are recommended. Moreover, numerical analyses are used to check the deformation at different sections of the tunnel and stabilities of the tunnel portals. Based on the analyses performed, tunnel deformations are found to be acceptable with the applied supports, and no slope failure is expected for the portals.

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...
Engineering geological investigations along the Iliksu Tunnels, Alanya, southern turkey
Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2003-03-01)
The main objective of this study is to assess the engineering geological characteristics of the rock mass and to suggest appropriate support recommendations along the two autoroad tunnel projects, named as Iliksu 1 and lliksu 2, which are located along the Antalya-Alanya Highway. The study area consists of pelitic schist and calc schist overlain by a thick sequence of recrystallized limestone and an intercalation of pelitic schist, calc schist and graphite schist. The tunnel ground support types and categor...
Assessment of slope stability for a segment (km: 25+600-26+000) of Antalya-Korkuteli highway
Arıkan, Huriye Aslı; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
The cut slopes at a segment between Km 25+600 and 26+000 of the Antalya-Burdur Breakaway-Korkuteli State Road to be newly constructed have slope instability problems due to the existence of highly jointed limestone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the engineering geological properties of the units exposed at three cut slopes, to assess stability of the cut slopes, and to recommend remedial measures for the problematic sections. In this respect, both field and laboratory studies have been carried...
Design of V-shaped array geometry
Filik, Tansu; Tuncer, Temel Engin; Yasar, T. Kaya (2007-06-13)
in this study, a new design method is proposed for V-shaped planar array geometry for two-dimensional azimuth and elevation angle estimation. The proposed method is similar to filter design in signal processing. This method determines the V-shaped array geometry which gives the best 2-D angle estimation performances for the specified design parameters. The best geometry is determined by using Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) and performance comparison is done with other planar array geometries.
Experimental evaluation of geomembrane/geotextile interface as base isolating system
Kalpakci, V.; Bonab, A. T.; Özkan, M. Yener; Gülerce, Zeynep (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2018-02-01)
The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the geomembrane/geotextile interface on the seismic response of small-to-moderate height structures. Three building models with first-mode natural frequencies changing between 2-4 Hz (representing two, three and four storey structures) were tested with and without the addition of geomembrane/geotextile interface using the shaking table test setup by employing harmonic and modified/ scaled ground motions. Experimental results showed that the geomembran...
