Transit time analysis is used to estimate the thickness of a compacted clay liner of a landfill. A computer program has been developed based on an existing analytical solution for one-dimensional transient solute transport in saturated porous media. The formulation includes advective and dispersive transport in the clay as well as geochemical reactions. The computer program is relatively simple and can be used for the preliminary estimation of the thickness of a compacted clay liner.

Geotechnical evaluation of Ankara clay as a compacted clay liner Met, Ilker; Akgün, Haluk (2015-08-01) This study investigates the geotechnical properties, and mineralogical and permeability characteristics of "Ankara clay" to evaluate its suitability as a compacted clay landfill liner material. The geotechnical index properties of the clayey soil samples collected from the western part of Ankara were determined. All the soil samples were tested for permeability by means of falling head compaction permeameter apparatus. The mineralogy of the soil samples were examined by X-ray diffraction and scanning electr...
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 ...
Performance assessment of cement grout borehole plugs in basalt Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 1994-01-01) Flow tests have been conducted on expansive cement grout plugs with diameters of 160 mm and 200 mm, and length-to-diameter ratios of one, in boreholes in basalt blocks and in steel pipes. Two types of flow tests have been performed: pseudo-constant head tests and transient pulse tests. Hydration temperatures of cement grout plugs have been monitored in steel pipes with inside diameters ranging from 110 mm to 200 mm. During flow tests, basalt blocks have fractured, presumably due to water injection pressure,...
Determination of a price index for escalation of building construction costs in Turkey Kahraman, Serhan; Sönmez, Rifat; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) Construction cost indices are developed to measure the degree of price variations in construction material and labor costs. However, each specific type of construction is a combination of unique set of materials and labor. As such, the degree of price variations referring to each specific type of construction shall be measured by specific price indices, in order to achieve more accurate results. In Turkey, Producer Price Index (PPI) published by State Statistics Institute is commonly used for the escalation...
Experimental determination of hydrodynamic dispersion coefficients for heavy metals using compacted clay Camur, MZ; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2001-07-27) Mass transport of ions through the Ankara clay liner, which was prepared under three different compaction conditions, was studied experimentally on the basis of sorption, advection and hydrodynamic dispersion processes. Under optimum compaction conditions, effective porosity and hydraulic conductivity of the material were 0.32 and 0. 13-0.26 x 10(-8) cm s(-1), respectively. Effective diffusion coefficients of Cd, Cl, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Ni, Pb and Zn ions were, respectively, 2.54, 9.51, 2.22, 2.85, 2.22,...
