Effects of the size of particles on rainfall induced slope instability in granular soils

Effects of the size of particles on rainfall-induced slope instability in granular soils Ahmad-Adli, Mohammad; Huvaj, Nejan; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2014-02-26) Rainfall-triggered landslides is a common natural hazard with significant consequences all over the world. Most available methods for predicting rainfall-triggered landslides are based on regional statistical data of past slope failures and rainfall records rather than a physically based model that takes the mechanism of the problem into account. Stability of slopes in unsaturated soils is mainly affected by suction distribution, which influences seepage and shear strength. Soil-water characteristic curve (...
Effects of harbour shape on the induced sedimentation Kian, Rozita; Velioglu, Deniz; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Pelinovsky, Efim; Kurkin, Andrey; Zaytsev, Andrey; Yalciner, Bora; Pamuk, Aykut (2017-01-01) Tsunamis in shallow water zones lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), morphological changes (erosion, deposition), dynamic water pressure, as well as resonant oscillations. As a result, ground materials under the tsunami motion move and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region. Ports and harbours as enclosed basins are the main examples of coastal structures that usually encounter natural hazards with small or huge damaging scales...
EFFECTS OF SPATIAL VARIABILITY OF MARGINAL FILLS ON EXTERNAL STABILITY OF REINFORCED SLOPES Durmaz, Muhammet; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Turgut, Atalay Mert; Öztürk, Nur (null; 2019-11-15) Geosynthetic reinforced soil walls and slopes are typically designed using clean granular fills. In recent years, granular soils containing some percentages of fines content (marginal fills) are being used, e.g. 35% fines content is allowed in the granular fill by NCMA (2006), provided that sufficient drainage measures are taken. Designing with granular soils that can have variable proportions of fines content, leads to the consideration of variability of soil properties such as shear strength and unit weig...
Effects of Harbor Shape on the Induced Sedimentation; L-Type Basin Kian, Rozita; Velioglu, Deniz; Yalçıner, Ahmet Cevdet; Zaytsev, Andrey (2016-09-01) Tsunamis in shallow water zones lead to sea water level rise and fall, strong currents, forces (drag, impact, uplift, etc.), morphological changes (erosion, deposition), dynamic water pressure, as well as resonant oscillations. As a result, ground materials under the tsunami motion move, and scour/erosion/deposition patterns can be observed in the region.

Effects of warming and nutrients on the microbial food web in shallow lake mesocosms Zingel, Priit; Cremona, Fabien; Noges, Tiina; Cao, Yu; Neif, Erika M.; Coppens, Jan; Iskin, Ugur; Lauridsen, Torben L.; Davidson, Thomas A.; Sondergaard, Martin; Beklioğlu, Meryem; Jeppesen, Erik (Elsevier BV, 2018-06-01) We analysed changes in the abundance, biomass and cell size of the microbial food web community (bacteria, heterotrophic nanoflagellates, ciliates) at contrasting nutrient concentrations and temperatures during a simulated heat wave. We used 24 mesocosms mimicking shallow lakes in which two nutrient levels (unenriched and enriched by adding nitrogen and phosphorus) and three different temperature scenarios (ambient, IPCC A2 scenario and A2+%50) are simulated (4 replicates of each). Experiments using the mes...
