Ankara-Sivas High-speed Railway Project is planned to be a part of an arterial railroad that will cross Turkey from west to east. Some slope instability problems occured after the excavation along Kırıkkale-Yerköy section of the project. Purpose of this study is to investigate engineering geological properties of the İncik formation exposed at four cut slopes with failure along the Kırıkkale-Yerköy section, to designate the factors that overbalance the stability of cut slopes and to recommend remedial solutions for problematic sections. In line with this purpose, shear strength parameters (c’ and φ’) of the İncik formation are investigated by back analysis method at four cut slopes KM:109+590, KM:113+120, KM:121+200 and KM:128+630 of Kırıkkale-Yerköy Section of Ankara-Sivas High-Speed Railway Project. As a comparison, shear strength parameters of the cut slopes were also checked against a neighbouring stable cut slope KM:107+100. According to the slope stability analyses based on limit equilibrium methods, the most assuring solution technique for the failed cut slopes is found out to be piling solution at various levels of the slopes depending on where the highest force of the slices exists. Additionally, the slope at KM:107+100 where a transition zone between the İncik formation and the competent İç Anadolu Group exists is expected to be stable in the long term due to higher mass shear strength parameters of the units.

Stability analysis of a coupled structure: a railway tunnel and a road cut slope Ünlütürk, Burcu; Bilgin, Hasan Aydın; Department of Mining Engineering (2018) A road-cut slope is planned for the construction of a new highway at Zonguldak province. This slope will be excavated by bench blasting method in close proximity to the No 50 Turkish State Railway Tunnel which is a masonry lined 84 years old tunnel in service. The excavation will continue until –approximately- 56 m horizontal and 55 m vertical distances remain to the tunnel lining. The plane failure risk of the slope and the damage risk of the tunnel are two major risks. Investigating stability of the slope...
Design considerations for modern railway stations; comparing Berlin, Beijing and Ankara Atak, Zeynep; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015) High Speed train era in Turkey has started in 2009 with the Ankara-Eskisehir high speed rail line. From 2009 until 2015, a number of high speed railway and new station construction projects haves been implemented. And new high speed rail line projects are in planned. Location of the station in the city, its dimensions, security check points, ticket checking system, the size of the retail places within the station and some other functions are critical for the design of railway stations, however it is realize...
Assessment of rock slope stability for a coastal area near Kuşadası, Aydın, Turkey Kaya, Yavuz; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2013) The study area, which will be open to tourism in Kuşadası (Aydın), has steep and high cliffs near the Aegean coast. In the area where some slidings and rockfall problems occurred in the past the geological hazards should be investigated and nature-friendly remedial measures should be taken. The aim of this study is to perform engineering geological studies to:(i) search geological hazards, (ii) reveal the slope stability problems, (iii) recommend nature-friendly solutions in order to prevent/minimize the ha...
Evaluating Rail Passengers Sector in Turkey Ekici, Üsame; Tüydeş Yaman, Hediye; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-1) With the rapid development of railways in Turkey, the research of railway passenger demand forecasting has gained much importance in the recent years. Passenger demand forecasting for transport services is essential for better management and better resource planning. In this study, a time-series-model was established using Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) forecasting method and then a regression model was formed to forecast the intercity railway passenger flow in Turkey. The daily passenger...
Dynamic investigation and rehabilitation of existing railway truss bridge under high speed train loadings for passenger comfort Mutlu, Gündüz; Yılmaz, Çetin; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) In Turkey, big investments are made to improve the existing train lines for use of new high speed trains. Most of the bridges on the existing train lines are typical and in this thesis one of the standard types, the classic steel truss bridge is investigated. This thesis presents the dynamic investigation of standard type existing truss bridge for passenger comfort criteria under the high speed train loadings. Two different computational analysis models have been developed to idealize the vehicle-bridge mod...
