In design of geosynthetic reinforced soil walls and slopes, most of the design guidelines require use of granular material as backfill soil. There is lack of clarity in the design and analysis for the reinforcement of predominantly granular material which has high fines content (marginal material). In this study, large direct shear tests (width 300 mm x length 300 mm x height 300 mm) will be conducted to investigate soil – geogrid interaction mechanism in direct shear mode for granular soils having different fines contents (0 to 40%). Clean granular soil samples (GW,GP; 0% fines content) and clayey gravel (GC) samples having 12%, 20%, 30% and 40% fines contents; plasticity indexes of 5% and 15% will be tested. Tests will be conducted under normal stress values of 20 kPa to 150 kPa. Three different types of geogrids will be used in experiments. Two of them will be biaxial geogrids, ParagridR and ParadrainR (having inplace drainage channels through its straps), third one will be extruded uniaxial geogrid having different mechanical properties than the other two. Consequently, geogrid characteristics such as the effect of strength properties, aperture size and pattern, production method, ability to provide in-place drainage will be evaluated. Bond coefficients and interface shear properties of geogrid reinforced marginal backfills will be determined for different samples which is necessary for numerical simulation. Recommendations to be used in design will bedeveloped.

Suya doygun olmayan zeminlerde oturma ve kayma dayanımı Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan(2014-12-31) Many geotechnical projects involve unsaturated soils. Some of the examples of these are calculation of foundation settlement, bearing capacity on unsaturated clayey soils, slope stability of earth slopes and embankments, excavations. These and many other problems require good understanding of compression and shear behavior of unsaturated soils. However, unsaturated soil testing in the laboratory is not very straightforward because many labs do not have sophisticated equipment and knowledgeable personnel to ...
Metaheuristic based backcalculation of rock mass parameters around tunnels Gedik, Görkem; Pekcan, Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Due to uncertainities in the ground conditions and the complexity of soil-structure interactions, the determination of accurate ground parameters, which are not only used in tunnel construction but in the design of all underground structures, have a great significance in having structures that are cost-efficient. Backcalculation methods which rely not only on laborotory and field tests but also on field monitoring and field data provide real structure conditions and therefore it is gaining popularity in geo...
Scale Effect on CFRP Strengthening of Infilled Reinforced Concrete Frames AKIN, EMRE; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış; Ozcebe, Guney (2015-06-01) The diagonal application of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer fabrics on hollow clay tile infill walls has been qualified as an efficient rehabilitation method for deficient reinforced concrete frames. However, majority of the experimental studies were conducted on 1/3-scaled RC frames and the effect of specimen scaling has not been questioned. In the current study, the results of an experimental campaign on 1/2-scaled RC frames are presented. Test specimens are grouped in two series having two different aspe...
Numerical Study on CFRP Strengthening of Reinforced Concrete Frames with Masonry Infill Walls Akin, Emre; Ozcebe, Guney; Canbay, Erdem; Binici, Barış (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014-04-01) In the last decade, a new strengthening methodology has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frames with hollow clay tile (HCT) infill walls by means of diagonally applied carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) fabrics. In the experimental part of a study conducted by the authors, this user-friendly methodology was experimentally investigated considering different aspect (height/width) ratios of the infill walls. In this study, first a numerical model of the FRP strengthened infill walls strengthened...
Vulnerability assessment of reinforced concrete moment resisting frame buildings Erduran, Emrah; Yakut, Ahmet (2007-04-01) A detailed seismic performance assessment procedure has been developed for reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings with masonry infill walls. The procedure is based on member damage functions, in terms of interstory drift ratios. These functions are developed for the primary components, namely, columns, beams, and infill walls. For developing these functions, analytical investigations to determine the influence of several parameters on the damageability of components were combined with experimental data. A...
