The purpose of this study is to select the best alternative for a landfill site for the Polatlı County. There currently is no proper landfill site in the county. Renewable materials are sent to the Ankara-Mamak Landfill site and the remaining waste material is deposited in an improper open dump site that is situated to the south of the county. Because of all these problems, the county urgently needs a proper landfill site with a landfill liner system. In the context of this thesis, site selection has been performed by considering criteria including, air traffic safety, geology, land use, distance to settlements, distance to roads, hydrogeology (drainage), slope, erosion, distance to faults and distance to earthquake epicenters. These criteria have been modeled and evaluated in a GIS environment and eventually the best site has been chosen. In addition, disturbed fine grained silty samples have been collected from the alternative sites and geotechnical (i.e., sieve analysis, Atterberg limit tests, hydrometer, compaction, falling head permeability) and mineralogical (i.e., SEM, XRD, methylene blue absorption) tests have been conducted on these samples. Three samples representative of alternative sites were mixed with 5% bentonite to decrease their permeability values. Falling head permeability tests were additionally conducted on those samples. By using the data obtained from these tests, the design of the liner and the hydrologic evaluation of the landfill has been performed through utilizing the HELP (Hydrologic Evaluation of Landfill Performance) software.

Landfill site selection utilizing TOPSIS methodology and clay liner geotechnical characterization: a case study for Ankara, Turkey Yal, Gozde Pinar; Akgün, Haluk (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2014-05-01) The purpose of this study was to select alternative landfill sites for Ankara based on the growing trends of Ankara toward the GolbaAYA +/- municipality, and to eventually select the best alternative through the use of decision-making tools. Geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-criteria decision analyses were employed to perform landfill site selection. Several criteria, including geology, slope, proximity to roads, availability and proximity of landfill containment material, settlement, suitabili...
Landfill site selection by using geographic information systems Şener, Başak; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi; Doyuran, Vedat (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2005-11-22) One of the serious and growing potential problems in most large urban areas is the shortage of land for waste disposal. Although there are some efforts to reduce and recover the waste, disposal in landfills is still the most common method for waste destination. An inappropriate landfill site may have negative environmental, economic and ecological impacts. Therefore, it should be selected carefully by considering both regulations and constraints on other sources. In this study, candidate sites for an approp...
Landfill site selection and landfill liner design for Ankara Yal, Gözde Pınar; Akgün, Haluk; Department of Geological Engineering (2010) The main scope of this thesis is to select alternative landfill sites for Ankara based on the growing trends of Ankara towards the Sincan and Gölbaşı municipalities and to eventually select the best alternative. Landfill site selection was carried out utilizing Geographic Information System (GIS) and Multi-Criteria-Decision-Analysis (MCDA). A number of criteria were gathered in a GIS environment. Each criterion was assigned a weight value by applying the Pairwise Comparison Method (PCM). “The Technique for ...
Rehabilitation of storm water collection systems of urban environment using the small roads as conveyance channels Tiğrek, Şahnaz; Sipahi, S. O. (2012-12-01) In this study a new grated inlet is proposed for small roads which do not have storm water collection systems. A setup was designed and constructed in the laboratory conditions to calibrate the grated inlet. The inlet is suggested to be installed at the end of the road where the road itself joins to another road or to a street. Thus, newly installed inlet will collaborate with existing storm water collecting system of the main road. Inlet structure covered by slots is installed across a 0.90-m wide flume wh...
Groundwater Impact assessment of Tailings Storage Facility Western Turkey Peksezer Sayıt, Ayşe; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (null; 2015-12-18) The purpose of this study is to assess potential impacts of leakage from the base of TSF on groundwater quality both in operational and post-closure period of a mine site in western Turkey. For this purpose, analytical and 2-D and 3-D numerical models are used together. The potential leakage rate of sulphate-bearing solution from the base of TSF is determined from analytical model. 2-D finite element models (SEEP/W and CTRAN/W) are used to simulate unsaturated flow conditions and advective-dispersive contam...
