The performance of two basic types of geosynthetic band-shaped/strip drains - a composite drain (core surrounded by a geotextile filter) and a monolithic drain (without a geotextile filter) - has been compared by means of radial consolidation tests. Tests were repeated employing the monolithic drain wrapped in the same filter fabric as the composite drain, a cylindrical porous stone and a sand drain. Two fine-grained soils of varying plasticity and gradation were used, initially at a water content equal to their respective liquid limits. The results were evaluated to compare the rate and amount of consolidation in each case and to assess the possible effect of clogging on the performance of geosynthetic drains. It was observed that the composite drain performed better than the monolithic drain, especially in the case of finer soil. Wrapping the monolithic drain with the geotextile filter significantly increased its performance.

Probabilistic Models for Cyclic Straining of Saturated Clean Sands Çetin, Kemal Önder; Wu, Jiaer; Kammerer, Annie M.; Seed, Raymond B. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2009-03-01) A maximum likelihood framework for the probabilistic assessment of postcyclic straining of saturated clean sands is described. Databases consisting of cyclic laboratory test results including maximum shear and postcyclic volumetric strains in conjunction with relative density, number of stress (strain) cycles, and "index" test results were used for the development of probabilistically based postcyclic strain correlations. For this purpose, in addition to the compilation of existing data from literature, a s...
A New Isotropic Specimen Preparation Method from Slurry for both Saturated and Unsaturated Triaxial Testing of a Low-Plasticity Silt Ahmadi-Naghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (ASTM International, 2019-07-01) A new procedure for the preparation of low-plasticity silt specimens that are isotropically reconstituted from slurry is developed for use in both saturated and unsaturated soil testing. Spatial variations of the water content and grain size distribution were examined to confirm the uniformity of the specimens (regarding void radio and segregation). The new preparation method results in a homogeneous specimen, which has a simple stress history. The repeatability of the proposed method in preparing identical...
A new method for automated estimation of joint roughness coefficient for 2D surface profiles using power spectral density Unlusoy, Deniz; Süzen, Mehmet Lütfi (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) In this study, a new method for the objective and accurate estimation of the joint roughness coefficient (JRC) of surface profiles, which are extracted from terrestrial laser scanner point clouds, is proposed. The requirements of objectivity, accuracy, reliability, and suitability for automatic analysis have been the basic criteria in assessing the performance of the procedure for JRC estimation. The procedure to estimate the JRC value of a sample profile is based on a similarity measure, between the third-...
A matematical modeling study on the feasibility of disposing partially treated domestic wastewater using soil pile systems Altınoklar, Hatice; Ünlü, Kahraman; Department of Environmental Engineering (2006) The soil pile system (SPS) is a wastewater infiltration system used for secondary and tertiary treatment of wastewater. The purpose of this study is to perform a feasibility study to assess the applicability of SPS for treatment and safe disposal of domestic wastewaters, using a simplistic steady-state flow analytical modeling and a numerical transient unsaturated flow and transport modeling approaches. It is also aimed to develop guidelines for the design and operation of field scale SPS using the results ...
AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF POLYVINYL-CHLORIDE) EMULSION POLYMERIZATION - EFFECT OF INITIATOR AND EMULSIFIER CONCENTRATIONS ON POLYMERIZATION KINETICS AND PRODUCT PARTICLE-SIZE Karakaş, Gürkan (Wiley, 1989-01-01) Effects of concentration changes in initiator species Na2SO3, (NH4)2S2O8 and CuSO4, and emulsifier, ammonium stearate, on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) emulsion polymerization kinetics and on product particle size were experimentally investigated. It was observed that to obtain industrially significant rates and overall conversions, not only an optimum concentration ratio of Na2SO3/(NH4)2S2O8/CuSO 4 must be used, but also the concentrations of these species must be above certain limits. Increasing the concentr...
