The objective of this experimental study was to use ground clay brick (GCB) as a pozzolanic material to minimize the alkali-silica reaction expansion. Two different types of clay bricks were finely ground and their activity indices were determined. ASTM accelerated mortar bar tests were performed to investigate the effect of GCB when used to replace cement mass. The microstructure of the mortar was investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the GCBs meet the strength activity requirements of ASTM. In addition, the GCBs were found to be effective in suppressing the alkali-silica reaction expansion. The expansion decreased as the amount of GCBs in the mortar increased. (C) 2003 Elsevier Ltd.

Utilization of Ankara Clay for Sanitary Landfill Bottom Liners Turkey
Akgün, Haluk (2005-01-01)
This study aims at determining the geotechnical properties and the compaction permeability characteristics of a clayey soil sample obtained from the Göbaşi site of the Ankara region in an attempt to assess its suitability as a compacted clay liner. The soil sample was permeability tested at about 3% wet of its optimum moisture content using the falling head compaction permeameter apparatus. The expected leakage rates through clay-only and composite geomem-brane-clay liners constructed with compacted Ankara ...
Effects of compaction moisture content on the shear strength of an unsaturated clay
Çokça, Erdal; Armangil, F. (2004-05-12)
This paper deals with the results of an experimental study carried out on compacted clay (PL=23%) to investigate the influence of compaction water content on the shear strength of the clay. For the measurement of shear strength parameters, direct shear tests were done on samples compacted at optimum moisture content (i.e. w=24%), at the dry side of optimum (i.e. w=18%, 20% and 22%) and at the wet side of optimum (i.e. w=26% and 28%). Thermocouple psychrometers were used for suction measurements and the suct...
Effect of different clay concentrations on crude oil combustion kinetics by thermogravimetry
Kök, Mustafa Verşan (2010-03-01)
The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of different clay composition and concentrations on the thermal behaviour and kinetics of heavy crude oil in limestone matrix by thermogravimetry (TG/DTG). In TG/DTG experiments, three distinct reaction regions were identified in all of the crude oil + limestone mixture known as low temperature oxidation (LTO), fuel deposition (FD) and high temperature oxidation (HTO) respectively. Addition of clay to porous matrix significantly affected the react...
Development of a new short-term concrete prism test method (SCPT) to improve predictability for potential alkali reactivity of aggregates
Hafçı, Alkan; Turanlı, Lutfullah.; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Alkali-aggregate reaction (AAR) is a chemical deterioration process which happens in concrete due to the presence of reactive aggregate, sufficient alkalis and moisture. The analysis for the reactivity may be very difficult because AAR has sophisticated and slow progression behaviour. Analysing the aggregates’ structure in detail is primarily necessary before preparation of concrete mixture. Therefore, fast, simple, and reliable tests should be carried out. In the first step of the study, seven pilot new te...
Relationship between suction and shear strength parameters of compacted METU campus clay
Tilgen, Hüseyin Pars; Çokça, Erdal; Department of Civil Engineering (2003)
In this study, the relationship between soil suction and shear strength parameters of compacted METU campus clay were investigated at different moisture contents. Soil samples were tested at optimum moisture content (i.e. w=20.8%), at dry side of optimum moisture content (i.e. w=14.8%, 16.8%, 18.8%) and at wet side of optimum moisture content (i.e. w=22.8%, 24.8%, 26.8%). Direct shear tests were performed to measure shear strength parameters (c', F') and soil suctions were measured by filter paper method af...
