Bartın Kirazlı Bridge Dam construction has started on Gökırmak stream in 1999 for the purposes of irrigation and power generation and is continuing at present. By the end of construction, Gökırmak stream level will reach +105 meters, and the existing Bartın – Safranbolu (D755) Highway will be submerged under water. A new alignment is determined for the relocation of the submerged road and named as the "Kirazlı Bridge Dam Diversion". With the start of the new highway construction, the paleo – landslide regions over the new alignment area were triggered and a mass movement occurred at the Km: 18 + 325 – 18 + 421 section. The purpose of this thesis is to define the characteristics of this landslide, to determine the sliding surface location, to reveal the mobilized mass amount and to specify the appropriate remediation and measurements for long term stability. For this purpose, in – situ site investigations and laboratory tests were conducted. With the data obtained from the investigation works, the landslide model was formed, and the shear strength parameters of the landslide mass were determined by back analysis performed on three critical sections of the model. In addition, slope stability analysis was performed by limit equilibrium method for both static and dynamic (seismic) conditions. As a result of these studies, ground water level reduction by pumping in short term, rock buttress application after temporary toe excavation and dewatering of the area by surface and subsurface drainage remediation phases were found suitable for the long term stability of the landslide.

Landslide assessment and stabilization study along the Tarsus - Çamlıyayla provincial road at km: 11+640 -12+080
Ataş, Pelin; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2017)
During the road extension works of the Tarsus - Çamlıyayla Provincial Road at KM: 11+640 -12+080, a landslide occurred due to the construction of a steeper slope at the road side for wall construction. The purpose of this thesis is to determine the critical failure location of the landslide and to determine the necessary slope stabilization methods in order to prevent the development of a larger potential landslide that may occur in the future. For this purpose, necessary engineering geological in-situ and ...
An analysis of deformation behaviorof Muratlı asphalt faced rockfill dam
Ünsever, Yeşim Sema; Özkan, M. Yener; Department of Civil Engineering (2007)
In this study, settlement and seepage behavior of Muratlı Dam, which is the first asphalt faced rockfill dam in Turkey, is investigated for the “end of construction” and “reservoir impoundment” loading conditions. Two dimensional plane strain finite element analyses are carried out in order to determine the total stresses, displacements and pore water pressures. Hardening soil model is used in order to represent the non-linear, inelastic and stress dependent behavior of rockfill material. Material model par...
Investigation of the safe and sustainable yields for the Sandy Complex aquifer system in Ergene River Basin
Ökten, Şebnem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2004)
This study aims to determine the safe and sustainable development and management of groundwater resources in Ergene River Basin located in northwestern Turkey. A numerical groundwater model was developed for the Sandy Complex aquifer, which is the most productive and the most widespread aquifer in the basin. The finite difference model with 5900 cells was used to represent the steady and unsteady flow in the aquifer. The model was calibrated in two steps: a steady state calibration by using the observed gro...
Engineering geological and geotechnical site characterization and determination of the seismic hazards of Upper Pliocene and Quaternary deposits situated towars the west of Ankara
Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2006)
The purpose of this study is to assess the engineering geological and geotechnical characteristics and to perform seismic hazard studies of the Upper Pliocene and Quaternary deposits located towards the west of Ankara. Based on a general engineering geological and seismic characterization of the site, site classification systems are assigned for seismic hazard assessment studies. The objective of the research is to determine the regional and local seismic soil conditions, predominant periods and ground ampl...
A Comparative assessment of seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationships
Ilgaç, Makbule; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
Starting with 1964 Niigata and Alaska Earthquakes, seismic soil liquefaction behavior has become a major research stream in geotechnical earthquake engineering. Since then, a number of investigators (e.g.: Seed et. al. (1984), Liao et. al. (1988, 1998), Toprak et. al. (1999), Cetin et. al. (2004) and Idriss and Boulanger (2004, 2008, 2012)) introduced deterministic and probabilistic liquefaction triggering assessment methodologies. The scope of this study is to develop an SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction...
