The main objective of this study is to assess the engineering geological characteristics of the rock mass and to suggest appropriate support recommendations along the two autoroad tunnel projects, named as Iliksu 1 and lliksu 2, which are located along the Antalya-Alanya Highway. The study area consists of pelitic schist and calc schist overlain by a thick sequence of recrystallized limestone and an intercalation of pelitic schist, calc schist and graphite schist. The tunnel ground support types and categories were determined according to the Q-system, Rock Mass Rating (RMR) method and New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM). Slope stability analyses were performed at the portal and cut slope sections. Kinematic and limit equilibrium analyses incorporating the effects of water pressure were performed for the failed rock slopes. Slope stability analyses of irregularly jointed, highly foliated lithologies were performed using soil slope stability software. The interactions of the tunnel support systems with the rock mass were analyzed through finite element analysis.

Methodology for tunnel and portal support design in mixed limestone, schist and phyllite conditions: a case study in Turkey Koçkar, Mustafa Kerem; Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2003-02-01) The purpose of this study is to present a methodology for tunnel and support design in mixed limestone, schist and phyllite conditions through investigating two highway tunnel case studies that are located along the Antalya-Alanya Highway in southern Turkey. The main lithologies of the project area are regularly jointed, recrystallized limestone and the weak lithologies of the schist unit (i.e., pelitic schist, calc schist, graphitic phyllite and alternations of these lithologies). A detailed geological and...
Engineering geological investigations and the preliminary support design for the proposed Ordu Peripheral Highway Tunnel, Ordu, Turkey Sopaci, Evrim; Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-07) This paper presents engineering geological investigations and the tunnel support design for the Boztepe tunnel of the Ordu Peripheral Highway located in northeast Turkey. In order to characterize the rock masses in Boztepe Tunnel which mainly consist of flysch (mostly alternation of sandstone, marl and siltstone) and pyroclastics (agglomerate and tuff), engineering geological investigations have been carried out in three stages as surface, subsurface and laboratory investigations. Rock mass classification s...
Geotechnical rock-mass evaluation of the Anamur dam site, Turkey Ozsan, A; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 1996-03-01) This paper describes a feasibility-level geotechnical evaluation carried out at Anamur dam site, in terms of stability analysis of dam foundation, excavation slopes and a diversion tunnel. The proposed Anamur dam will be built across the Anamur river on the Alanya metamorphic series which consists of phyllite, schist and slate units at the site. Geotechnical investigations included drilling for core, pumping tests, sampling for laboratory testing, and a detailed discontinuity survey.
Displacement monitoring, displacement verification and stability assessment of the critical sections of the Konak tunnel, Izmir, Turkey Yertutanol, Kadir; Akgün, Haluk; Sopaci, Evrim (Elsevier BV, 2020-07-01) The main focus of this study is vertical displacement monitoring and verification along with preliminary support design for the four geotechnical sectors of the twin tube Konak tunnel that was constructed in a highly populated area in Izmir. The displacements of the tunnel that were obtained through numerical analysis were verified by comparing them with the displacements obtained by construction monitoring. In the study area, volcanics, pyroclastics and some sedimentary deposits (sandstone, mudstone and co...
Experimental evaluation of geomembrane/geotextile interface as base isolating system Kalpakci, V.; Bonab, A. T.; Özkan, M. Yener; Gülerce, Zeynep (Thomas Telford Ltd., 2018-02-01) The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of the geomembrane/geotextile interface on the seismic response of small-to-moderate height structures. Three building models with first-mode natural frequencies changing between 2-4 Hz (representing two, three and four storey structures) were tested with and without the addition of geomembrane/geotextile interface using the shaking table test setup by employing harmonic and modified/ scaled ground motions. Experimental results showed that the geomembran...
