The weathering characteristics of Ankara andesites and their importance from the rock mechanics point of view are studied. First, a review of processes involved with the weathering of rocks is presented together with the engineering implications and available methods of describing and classifying the products for engineering purposes. The latest universal weathering grade rock mass classifying system developed by Dearman and his friends is used for the field studies of the research. A detailed investigation on the physico-mechanical properties of the weathered Ankara andesites is carried out in the laboratory and their relations with each other are studied. Mohr envelopes have been established for each weathering grade of different andesite types. The general trend of Mohr envelopes for weathered andesitic rock shows that Mohr envelope lines can be drawn to represent the each weathering grade. There is systematic decrease in the values of material constants with the degree of weathering.

The structure of the Palaeozoic schists in the southern Menderes Massif, western Turkey: a new approach to the origin of the main Menderes Metamorphism and its relation to the Lycian Nappes Bozkurt, Erdin (1999-01-01) The Early Eocene to Early Oligocene tectonic history of the Menderes Massif involves a major regional Barrovian-type metamorphism (M-1, Main Menderes Metamorphism, MMM), present only in the Palaeozoic-Cenozoic metasediments (the so-called "cover" of the massif), which reached upper amphibolite facies with local anatectic melting at structurally lower levels of the cover rocks and gradually decreased southwards to greenschist facies at structurally higher levels. it is not present in the augen gneisses (the ...
The Character and displacement of Adıyaman fault (southeast anatolia): evidence from subsurface data Durukan, Bayram Alper; Bozkurt, Erdin; Department of Geological Engineering (2019) Structural interpretation of five 2D seismic sections acquired by TPAO is carried out in the Adıyaman region of Southeast Anatolia. The sections are geological calibrated with stratigraphic logs of five boreholes. This study has resulted in the discovery of a previously undefined fault, herein named as Şambayat Fault. The fault is a NW-SEtrending structure that parallels the Bozova Fault and comprises several parallel fault segments. The structural maps of Cretaceous Sayındere and Karababa formations are al...
THE UPPER LAYER CIRCULATION OF THE BLACK-SEA - ITS VARIABILITY AS INFERRED FROM HYDROGRAPHIC AND SATELLITE-OBSERVATIONS OGUZ, T; LAVIOLETTE, PE; UNLUATA, U (American Geophysical Union (AGU), 1992-08-15) Quasi-synoptic hydrographic data and satellite imagery are used to describe the circulation and the structural variability of the Black Sea with particular emphasis on the Turkish coast. The circulation is indicated to involve a variable cyclonic circulation with no apparent central locus and a well-defined cyclonic "Rim Current" containing meanders and interacting eddy fields confined to the shelf slope. Interspersed between the coastal eddies are filaments and intense jets, often with dipole eddies at the...
The use of fractal geostatistics and artificial neural networks for carbonate reservoir characterization Yeten, B; Gumrah, F (2000-11-01) In this study, a carbonate oil reservoir located in the southeast part of Turkey was characterized by the use of kriging and the fractal geometry. The three-dimensional porosity and permeability distributions were generated by both aforementioned methods by using the wireline porosity logs and core plug permeability measurements taken from six wells of the field. Since classical regression (lognormal or polynomial) and geostatistical techniques (cross variograms) fail to estimate permeability from wireline ...
Modeling of Hydraulically Controlled Exchange Flow in the Bosphorus Strait Oguz, Temel; Özsoy, Emin; Latif, Mohammed A.; Sur, Halil I.; Ünlüata, Ümit (American Meteorological Society, 1990-7) Recent hydrographic observations obtained in the Bosphorus Strait illustrate several features of the flow that may be related with the internal hydraulics. A two-layer numerical model indicates that the two-way exchange flow may indeed be subject to a series of internal hydraulic adjustments along the strait due to morphological features such as sills, a contraction and abrupt expansion of the width of the strait. The model identifies three distinct regions of the supercritical flow. The lower-layer flow of...
