Marine clay deposits are commonly found soils around the world. Owing to the high costs of material disposal and the associated environmental problems, there is a growing need to find an alternative solution to reusing unsuitable soils. In the current study, the shrinkage and compression behavior of marine deposited clays, a soil commonly found worldwide, has been studied using intact, reconstituted, and cement-treated samples. Additionally, the effect of cement inclusion was evaluated for dosages ranging from 1 to 7%. Furthermore, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis and X-ray diffractometry were conducted to study the microstructural developments of cement-treated clays. The results reported in this paper have important practical implications as they provide significant knowledge on the compressibility behavior of marine deposited clays, examined for the first time considering a sensitivity framework. Such an examination allows assessment of the effect of burial depth and cement incorporation on structure. This study further enables manipulation of the engineering properties and hence serves to develop the constitutive modeling of cement-treated clays. Furthermore, a well-established relationship developed in shrinkage and compressibility of marine deposited clays will serve to optimize these two independent soil properties.

Development of a data-driven forecasting tool for hydraulically fractured, horizontal wells in tight-gas sands Kulga, B.; Artun, E.; Ertekin, T. (2017-06-01) Tight-gas sand reservoirs are considered to be one of the major unconventional resources. Due to the strong heterogeneity and very low permeability of the formation, and the complexity of well trajectories with multiple hydraulic fractures; there are challenges associated with performance forecasting and optimum exploitation of these resources using conventional modeling approaches. In this study, it is aimed to develop a data-driven forecasting tool for tight-gas sands, which is based on artificial neural ...
Development of a predictive model for carbon dioxide sequestration in deep saline carbonate aquifers Anbar, Sultan; Akın, Serhat; Department of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering (2009) Although deep saline aquifers are found in all sedimentary basins and provide very large storage capacities, a little is known about them because they are rarely a target for the exploration. Furthermore, nearly all the experiments and simulations made for CO2 sequestration in deep saline aquifers are related to the sandstone formations. The aim of this study is to create a predictive model to estimate the CO2 storage capacity of the deep saline carbonate aquifers since a little is known about them. To crea...
A Study on optimum layout of drainage gallery for concrete dams Daghestani, Tameem; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Çalamak, Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2018) Dams are generally massive structures retaining a large amount of water. Any failure could lead to a disaster. Therefore, keeping the dam within the required safety margins and maintaining those conditions is of the utmost importance. A gravity dam is held in place by its own weight. Uplift pressure reduces the effective weight of the dam, thus reducing its safety. Hence reducing the effect of uplift could have significant results in increasing the safety of the dam. In this study, the optimum location of t...
Triple-Binder-Stabilized Marine Deposit Clay for Better Sustainability Hanafi, Mohamad; Ekinci, Abdullah; Aydin, Ertug (MDPI AG, 2020-6-5) Marine clay deposits are commonly found worldwide. Considering the cost of dumping and related environmental concerns, an alternative solution involving the reuse of soils that have poor conditions is crucial. In this research, the authors examined the strength, microstructure, and wet-dry resistance of triple-binder composites of marine-deposited clays and compiled a corresponding database. In order to evaluate the wetting-drying resistance of the laboratory-produced samples, the accumulated mass loss (ALM...
A SIMPLIFIED APPROACH TO THE SETTLEMENT ESTIMATION OF PILED RAFTS Kalpakci, Volkan; Özkan, M. Yener (2012-01-01) In this study, a simplified approach to the settlement estimation of piled rafts resting on over-consolidated clay deposits is presented. For this purpose, a series of plane-strain and three-dimensional analyses were performed and their results are compared with the available data in the literature. It was found that the percentage decrease in the total settlements with the addition of piles with respect to the unpiled case is very closely estimated by both the plane-strain and the three-dimensional, simpli...
