Evaluation of the alkali reactivity of cherts from Turkey
Bektas, F.; Topal, Tamer; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; TURANLI, LUTFULLAH (2008-06-01)
Chert, which is a crypto and/or microcrystalline sedimentary rock, may lead to alkali-silica reaction in concrete when the conditions are favorable. However, cherts vary in composition and consequently may demonstrate different reaction characteristic. In this study, eight different chert types were investigated. Accelerated mortar bar test, ASTM C 1260, was performed on aggregate blends of limestone and chert. Ten sets of mortar bars with varying amount of cherts, 1 to 100%, were tested for each chert type...

Evaluation of natural zeolite as a viscosity-modifying agent for cement-based grouts
Sahmaran, M.; Özkan, Necati; Keskin, Serhat; UZAL, BURAK; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Erdem, T. K. (2008-07-01)
The effects of natural zeolite on the theological and workability properties of the grout mixtures were studied. Setting times of grouts were also determined as part of the experimental study. For comparison, grout mixtures were also prepared with a commercially available viscosity modifying admixture (VMA). The experimental results show that addition of natural zeolite modifies both the rheological and workability properties of grouts. For a constant superplasticizer (SP) content, an increase in the zeolit...
Evaluation of selected kaolins as raw materials for the Turkish cement and concrete industry
Aras, A.; Albayrak, M.; Arıkan, Mehmet Fırat; Sobolev, K. (Mineralogical Society, 2007-6)
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Turkey has a long tradition (starting with prehistoric civilizations) and experience in exploring for raw clay materials and processing them into ceramic products. Many of these products, such as tiles and sanitary ware, are manufactured for domestic and export markets. Kaolin is one of the raw materials of major importance for the ceramic and paper industry, as well as for a number of auxiliary applications. There is ongoing interest in applying kaolin in the constr...
Evaluation of a sand bentonite mixture as a shaft/borehole sealing material
Akgün, Haluk (2018-11-01)
The mechanical and hydrological characteristics of compacted sand bentonite mixtures with bentonite contents ranging from 5 to 40% were investigated in the laboratory in order to assess their use as a waste isolation material and to select an optimum sand bentonite mixture. Laboratory tests included compaction, compaction permeability, unconfined compression and direct shear tests which led to a recommendation to select a mixture with a bentonite content of 30% for the isolation of underground geological wa...
