This paper presents held and some index properties of weathered Ankara andesites, carried out over a period of 4 years. Ankara andesites are distributed widely around the city of Ankara, on which numerous important structures have been founded. Thus, the weathering characteristics of Ankara andesites, both from the engineering geological and the rock mechanics points of view are important. The held work involved assessment of the rock mass weathering grades, conduction of simple field tests, Schmidt hammer and point load tests on the rock materials, characterisation of discontinuities, and collection of representative samples from each weathering grade for laboratory testing. The relationship between the experimentally determined parameters and quantitative engineering geological descriptions provided a simple geological method for the assessment of the design parameters and mapping the distribution of mass weathering grades. As a result of the evaluation, an idealized weathering profile and the scale of rock mass weathering grades together with their range of thicknesses were proposed. Some index tests, such as effective porosity, Schmidt hammer value (SHV), point load strength and seismic velocity, provided good relations with the degree of weathering.

Long run relationship between entry and exit: time series evidence from Turkish manufacturing industry
Soytaş, Uğur (2006-12-01)
This paper investigates the long run relationship between entry and exit using aggregate annual data from the Turkish manufacturing industry for the period 1968-2001. The time series properties of the data imply that simple OLS regressions may yield spurious results. We employ both bivariate and multivariate models to test for Granger causality. Utilizing relatively new time series techniques, we find that exit Granger causes entry in the long run, but not vice versa. However, unlike many empirical fin...
Estimating rock mass properties using Monte Carlo simulation: Ankara andesites
Sari, Mehmet; Karpuz, Celal; Ayday, Can (2010-07-01)
In the paper, a previously introduced method (Sari, 2009) is applied to the problem of estimating the rock mass properties of Ankara andesites. For this purpose, appropriate closed form (parametric) distributions are described for intact rock and discontinuity parameters of the Ankara andesites at three distinct weathering grades. Then, these distributions are included as inputs in the Rock Mass Rating (RMR) classification system prepared in a spreadsheet model. A stochastic analysis is carried out to evalu...
Reactivity of limestones from different sources in Turkey
Hoşten, Çetin; Gulsun, M (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01)
This paper presents a study on the reactivity of natural limestones from five deposits in Turkey. The conversion rates of carbonates in size fractions of the samples were measured in a stirred suspension of 2.5 1 at 20 degreesC and a constant-pH value of 5 obtained with the addition of HCl solutions by a pH control pump. Particle size and the dolomite content of the limestones were found to be the most influential parameters in the reactivity measurements.
Ankara'da Konut Fiyatlarının Mekansal Farklılaşması
Türel, Ali (Middle East Technical University, Faculty of Architecture, 1981)
This paper summaries the analysis of housing prices in Ankara. Before the empirical study, the specific features of urban housing markets in developing countries, such as Turkey, is discussed. The implications of disequilibrium in the labour and housing markets on the production and consumption of housing is evaluated, and İt İs shown that under these conditions price of housing will increase İn time with the growth of housing stock. In the second part, prices of housing attributes are estimated for the non...
Prediction of Elastic Moduli Development of Cement Mortars Using Early Age Measurements
Deniz, Saygin; Erdoğan, Sinan Turhan (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2015-01-01)
This paper presents an investigation of the time development of dynamic and static elastic moduli of eight mortars made using CEM I cements with contrasting properties. Mixing and the preparation of dynamic testing prism specimens conformed to European standards. A nonstandard specimen and bending test setup was devised for measuring the development of a static Young's modulus. It was determined that dynamic Young's moduli determined using an ultrasonic pulse velocity test are often, but not always, greater...
