This paper presents the identification of the geotechnical parameters of the Antalya karstic foundation rocks (travertine/tufa), whose mechanical behavior is highly variable due to its composition. Antalya tufa rock has numerous types/members of tufa, each has different structures. It has no well-developed joint system and is variably porous. In order to reveal the controlling geotechnical parameters for the mechanical behavior of the Antalya tufa rock and to develop a comprehensive geotechnical database, numerous field and laboratory geomechanics tests have been carried out. Accordingly, the geological and geotechnical parameters of the rock underlying the City of Antalya have been identified by using statistical methods. Useful relations or equations for the Antalya tufa rock have been proposed from a geotechnical point of view.

Engineering geological characterization of the Antalya karstic rocks, southern Turkey Sopacı, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2016-03-01) This study encompasses engineering geological characterization of the Antalya karstic foundation rocks, particularly tufa, whose mechanical behavior is highly variable. The Antalya tufa rock has no well-developed discontinuity systems. It is variably porous, and is composed of different rock types with variable structures. To reveal the engineering geological parameters and to develop a thorough engineering geological database, which is not available in the literature for the Antalya tufa rock, geological o...
Electrochemical behaviour of chalcopyrite in the absence and presence of dithiophosphate Güler, Taki; Hiçyılmaz, Cahit; Gökağaç, Gülsün; Ekmekçi, Zafir (Elsevier BV, 2005-02-07) Electrochemical behaviour of chalcopyrite was investigated in collectorless condition and in the presence of dithiophosphate (DTP), which is a selective collector for chalcopyrite, by cyclic voltammetry (CV) study. Diffuse Reflectance Infrared Fourier Transformation (DRIFT) spectroscopy was employed to identify surface species of DTP at chalcopyrite surface. CV tests established the certain degree of irreversibility in the absence of DTP possibly due to preferential dissolution of iron ions in slightly acid...
Geotechnical characterization and rock mass classification of the Antalya karstic rock masses Sopacı, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2012) This thesis identifies the geotechnical parameters of the Antalya karstic foundation rocks (travertine/tufa), which are highly variable in nature, by means of geological observations, geotechnical site investigations, and field and laboratory geomechanics tests to examine karstic (mainly tufa) rock mass behavior. Several geotechnical parameters such as porosity, seismic wave velocity, uniaxial compressive strength, Young’s modulus, tensile strength, etc. that are thought to have significant influence on roc...
Geotechnical assessment and engineering classification of the Antalya tufa rock, southern Turkey Sopacı, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk (2015-10-30) This study mineralogically and geotechnically assesses the Antalya tufa rock types, which are highly variable in nature. Geological observations, geotechnical site investigations, and in-situ and laboratory tests have been performed to determine the parameters (i.e., organic matter content, rock fabric, apparent porosity, unit weight, uniaxial compressive strength, Young's modulus, tensile strength, cohesion and angle of internal friction) that may have a significant influence on tufa rock behavior and to d...
Adsorption of dithiophosphate and dithiophosphinate on chalcopyrite Guler, T; Hicyilmaz, C; Gokagac, G; Ekmeci, Z (Elsevier BV, 2006-01-01) Electrochemical behavior of chalcopyrite was investigated in the absence and presence of dithiophosphate (DTP) and dithiophosphinate (DTPI), selective thiols against Fe-sulfides in the flotation of sulfide ores, in potentiostatically controlled electrochemical condition. Diffuse reflectance Fourier transformation (DRIFT) spectroscopy was applied to determine the type of adsorbed collector species, and Hallimond tube flotation tests were performed to clarify the role of polarization potential and thiol colle...
