A mass movement occurred along Km 21+200 – 21+730 (Tekir Region) of the Tarsus – Pozantı Motorway and vicinity especially due to the geomechanical properties of the units, and surface and groundwater effects. The purposes of this thesis study are to describe the geological-geotechnical characteristics of the landslide, to determine the geometry of the sliding mass and shear strength parameters, and to recommend an appropriate remediation method to provide stability. For fulfilling these purposes, in-situ site investigations (boreholes, inclinometer measurements, etc.) and laboratory tests were performed on the units of the Çukurbağ Formation (conglomerate, sandstone, siltstone and claystone), which forms the bedrock of the study area. In the light of the results of these investigations and test results, the shear strength parameters of the sliding mass were estimated at critical sections of the model by using the back analysis method. Furthermore, by applying limit equilibrium methods, slope stability analysis were performed for the static and dynamic (seismic) conditions. As a result of these studies, the most proper stabilization method (i.e., ground water level reduction, rock buttress application and relocation of the existing river) were deemed necessary the long term stability of the landslide. Four alternatives of rock buttress design were suggested. In addition, the slope stability analysis of the four alternatives of remediation design by using limit equilibrium were compared with respect to the cost of the construction through evaluating the results.

Characterization and Assessment of Large Landslide Movement Along the Bursa-Inegol-Bozuyuk Highway in Turkey ORAL, Damla Gaye; Akgün, Haluk; Kockar, Mustafa Kerem (2014-09-19) This study discusses the geotechnical characterization, modeling and stabilization of a large scale landslide that occurred in highly weathered rock during highway construction. The study area is located along the Bursa-Inegol-Bozuyuk highway in Turkey. The mass movement occurred 110 m behind the road cut with 400-600 mm wide tension cracks. Some remediation techniques were applied on site while mass movements were continuing and the size of the tension cracks that were located at the crown reached a width ...
Rock mass characterization and primary support design for the Boztepe Tunnel, Turkey Sopaci, E.; Akgün, Haluk; Akinci, M. (Taylor & Francis Group -CRC Press; 2005-12-01) The Ordu province in local scale and northeastern Turkey in regional scale comprise of volcanic arc related rock masses. These modes of origin accommodate both volcanic and flysch type rock masses that have transitions so often with each other. The Boztepe tunnel will mostly be driven through this type of lithol-ogy. In order to assess the rock masses surrounding the tunnel from a geotechnical point of view; surface, subsurface and laboratory investigations have been implemented. Internationally accepted ro...
Earthquake imprints on a lacustrine deltaic system: Example of the Kürk Delta along the East Anatolian Fault (Turkey) Hubert-ferrari, Aurelia; El Ouahabi, Meriam; Garcia Moreno, David; Avşar, Ulaş; Altınok, Sevgi; Fagel, Nathalie; Çağatay, Namık (null; 2017-04-23) Delta contains a sedimentary record primarily indicative of water level changes, but particularly sensitive to earthquake shaking, which results generally in soft-sediment-deformation structures. The Kürk Delta adjacent to a major strike-slip fault displays this type of deformation (Hempton and Dewey, 1983) as well as other types of earthquake fingerprints that are specifically investigated. This lacustrine delta stands at the southwestern extremity of the Hazar Lake and is bound by the East Anatolian Fault...
Earthquake imprints on a lacustrine deltaic system: The Kurk Delta along the East Anatolian Fault (Turkey) Hubert-Ferrari, Aurelia; El-Ouahabi, Meriam; Garcia-Moreno, David; Avşar, Ulaş; Altinok, Sevgi; Schmidt, Sabine; Fagel, Nathalie; Cagatay, M. Namik (2017-08-01) Deltas contain sedimentary records that are not only indicative of water-level changes, but also particularly sensitive to earthquake shaking typically resulting in soft-sediment-deformation structures. The Kurk lacustrine delta lies at the south-western extremity of Lake Hazar in eastern Turkey and is adjacent to the seismogenic East Anatolian Fault, which has generated earthquakes of magnitude 7. This study re-evaluates water-level changes and earthquake shaking that have affected the Kurk Delta, combinin...
Investigation of the failure mechanism and stabilization of a landslide in weathered tuffite, Giresun, northeastern Turkey Avsar, Ozgur; Akgün, Haluk; Kockar, Mustafa Kerem (2014-11-01) This study investigates the causes and failure mechanism of the Aksu landslide that occurred during the construction of the Giresun-Espiye road between KM: 1 + 030-1 + 170 in northern Turkey and recommends proper stabilization techniques. For the purpose of investigating the causes and mechanism of this slope failure, engineering geological mapping, geotechnical investigation and rock mass characterization were performed. From top to bottom, weathered tuffite, tuffite, flysch, and dacitic tuffite were the m...
