Effect of Fly Ash on Swell Behaviour of a Very Highly Plastic Clay Çokça, Erdal; Lav, Musaffa Ayşen (2018-08-16) Swelling of expansive soils causes excessive heave. Resulting expansion can lead to considerable distress to pavements and/or lightweight structures which are settled on that kind of subsoils. Several methods can be applied to control the swelling problem. One of the most commonly used method is the addition of stabilizing agents, such as lime or fly ash to the expansive soil. Soil samples that are very highly plastic have been taken from clay deposits of Ankara in Turkey in this study. Both disturbed and u...
Improvement of bearing capacity of a soft soil by the addition of fly ash Özdemir, Murat Aziz; Çokça, Erdal; Güler, Murat; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) Soft soils are not suitable for use in runway and highway construction due to their undesirable characteristics such as poor grading, low strength, excessive plasticity, tendency to shrink or swell. By stabilizing such soils with appropriate agents, their engineering properties can be improved. One of the stabilizing agents is Class C fly ash. This study aimed at investigation of bearing capacity improvement of a soft soil (from Elmadağ area) by using Class C fly ash (from Soma Thermal Power Plant). In the ...
Effect of synthetic pyrethroid lambda-cyhalothrin on Helicoverpa armigera glutathione s-transferases Konuş, Metin; İşcan, Mesude; Department of Biochemistry (2004) Helicoverpa armigera is a polyphagous pest. Due to excessive use of insecticides, the field populations of H. armigera have become resistant to synthetic pyrethroids by one or combination of three mechanisms; reduced penetration through the cuticle, decreased nerve sensitivity and enhanced metabolism by the detoxification enzymes especially glutathione S-transferases. In this study, gut sections of H. armigera were obtained from Adana and Antalya field populations and susceptible populations from Israel. Ea...
Effects of collars on local scour around semi-circularend bridge abutments Daşkın, Süeyla; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2011) During severe floods, bed material around bridge piers and abutments are scoured by the flow and as a result, bridges are subject to damages. These damages are mostly unrepairable and can result in loss of lives and property. In this thesis study, abutment scour under clear-water condition was investigated and collars were tested as scour countermeasures around the abutments. The experimental study was carried out in a rectangular channel with an almost uniform cohesionless bed material of d50=1.50 mm for a...
Effects of Mixing Protocols on Impact Modified Poly(lactic acid) Layered Silicate Nanocomposites Baouz, Touffik; Acik, Eda; Rezgui, Farouk; Yılmazer, Ülkü (2015-02-20) Poly(lactic acid)/2 wt % organomodified montmorillonite (PLA/OMMT) was toughened by an ethylene-methyl acrylate-glycidyl methacrylate (E-MA-GMA) rubber. The ternary nanocomposites were prepared by melt compounding in a twin screw extruder using four different addition protocols of the components of the nanocomposite and varying the rubber content in the range of 5-20 wt %. It was found that both clay dispersion and morphology were influenced by the blending method as detected by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ...
