This research assesses the collapse mechanisms of tufa deposits. The city of Antalya, located on the Mediterranean coast of Turkey, has been settled on tufa deposits. By the end of 1980s, the area behind the tufa cliffs became the site of high-rise residential buildings. Some of these buildings have suffered from foundation instabilities, which have given rise to cracking and fissuring of the walls, and overall tilting. The collapsible behaviour upon loading and/or wetting of some tufa deposits has caused foundation settlement.

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.
Evaluation of Seismic Response Factors for Eccentrically Braced Frames Using FEMA P695 Methodology KUŞYILMAZ, Ahmet; Topkaya, Cem (SAGE Publications, 2016-02-01) This paper reports details of a numerical study undertaken to evaluate seismic response factors for steel eccentrically braced frames (EBFs) using the FEMA P695 methodology. Six archetypes were designed by making use of the current U.S. specifications, and their behavior was assessed by making use of nonsimulated collapse models. Results indicate that the current values of response factors result in designs with higher collapse probabilities than expected. Two modifications were developed to bring the colla...
Numerical modelling of out-of-seam dilution in longwall retreat mining SAEEDI, G.; SHAHRIAR, K.; REZAI, B.; Karpuz, Celal (Elsevier BV, 2010-06-01) Longwall mining is a common mining method in Iran that is often affected by out-of-seam dilution (OSD). The field investigations performed in Tabas coal mine show that OSD often occurs due to roof falls in front of the face area before support setting and also removing some floor material. The increase in unsupported roof span above the shearer may cause difficulty in controlling the roof and consequently increases dilution of the run of mine (ROM) coal. The paper presents the results of a study on some dom...
Analytical and experimental assessment of mechanical borehole sealing performance in rock Akgün, Haluk (Elsevier BV, 1997-09-05) This paper examines the bond strength of cement grout plugs cast in rock. The bond strength has been determined through push-out testing in which an axial load is applied to cement grout plugs emplaced in boreholes in welded tuff cylinders. The push-out tests have been performed as a function of borehole (plug) radius and plug length. The use of four different borehole radii and three different plug length-to-radius ratios enables the evaluation of size effects. A power law obeying strength decrease with in...
Examination of differences between three SPT-based seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationships Çetin, Kemal Önder; Kayen, Robert E.; Moss, Robb E. S.; Bilge, Habib Tolga; Ilgaç, Makbule (Elsevier BV, 2018-10-01) The preceding companion paper presented the updating of the seismic soil liquefaction triggering relationship of Cetin et al. [1], and compared the resulting updated relationship with the earlier version. In this second paper, a detailed cross-comparison is made between three triggering relationships: (1) Seed et al. [2], as slightly updated by the NCEER Working Group (Youd et al. [3]), (2) Boulanger and Idriss [4], and (3) Cetin et al. [5]. Differences between these three triggering relationships, and the ...
