A STUDY ON OPTIMUM LAYOUT DESIGN OF PIEZOMETERS IN EARTH-FILL DAMS
Gökmen, Salih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-7)
Excessive pore water pressure is one of the causes of failure in earth-fill dams. Therefore, distribution of pore water pressure within the dam body must be observed throughout the lifetime of the structure. The observation can be performed by means of an instrumentation system installed within the embankment. The system consists of sensors placed at specific loations. There are no standard guidelines to assign required number of the sensors and their proper locations within the body. Currently, instrumenta...
A STUDY ON RESERVOIR FILLING PRACTICES FOR SMALL EARTHFILL DAMS
Kurter, Ege Can; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Çalamak, Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-12-16)
The initial filling is considered to be the first safety test of the embankment followed after construction. The earth material acts significantly different during the first interaction with water. The majority of the failures occur during initial filling. The reasons of failures are mainly attributable to crack formation and internal erosion followed by piping. The filling is commonly practiced in multi-stages where intermediary holds are provided for monitoring purposes before the embankment is further lo...
A study on the reliability-based safety analysis of concrete gravity dams
Beşer, Mehmet Reşat; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2005)
Dams are large hydraulic structures constructed to meet various project demands. Their roles in both environment and the economy of a country are so important that their design and construction should be carried out for negligibly small risk. Conventional design approaches are deterministic, which ignore variations of the governing variables. To offset this limitation, high safety factors are considered that increase the cost of the structure. Reliabilityاbased design approaches are probabilistic in nature ...
A Study on seismic behavior of scour-vulnerable bridges
Kızılduman, Hale Sema; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2016)
Scour under bridge foundations typically causes serious defects or failures. The studies on seismic behavior of bridges scoured prior to earthquake are very limited. Although earthquakes are not one of the top reasons for bridge failures or damages, when the effects of earthquakes and scour are combined, the structure can become highly vulnerable to failure. In Turkey, during the design process of bridges, the earthquake effects are seriously considered, but the combined effect of scour and earthquake is no...
A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF RELIEF WELLS DOWNSTREAM OF EMBANKMENT DAMS
Göğüş, Doruk; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Çalamak, Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-6-30)
This study investigates the performances of reduction methods of the seepage problem at the foundation of a real embankment dam, Oğulcuk Dam located in Yozgat, Turkey. The steady-state seepage modeling is used in the analysis. The variation of relief wells inner diameter, location and spacing parameters are compared with each other and are also compared with different alternatives, such as cutoff walls, core trenches, and cutoff walls with blankets. Different variations of those methods i.e. locations and d...
