NUMGE 2018 is the ninth in a series of conferences on Numerical Methods in Geotechnical Engineering organized by the ERTC7 under the auspices of the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE). The first conference was held in 1986 in Stuttgart, Germany and the series continued every four years (1990 Santander, Spain; 1994 Manchester, United Kingdom; 1998 Udine, Italy; 2002 Paris, France; 2006 Graz, Austria; 2010 Trondheim, Norway; 2014 Delft, The Netherlands). The conference provides a forum for exchange of ideas and discussion on topics related to numerical modelling in geotechnical engineering. Both senior and young researchers, as well as scientists and engineers from Europe and overseas, are invited to attend this conference to share and exchange their knowledge and experiences.

Effects of mixture design parameters and compaction methods on the properties of roller compacted concrete pavements
Şengün, Emin; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
The aim of the thesis is to develop laboratory compaction methodology suitable for simulating field compaction procedures used for creating roller compacted concrete (RCC) mixtures. Based on this methodology, mechanical performance and fracture properties of RCC mixtures of different strength classes were determined and long-term fatigue performance of RCC mixtures with different strength levels was investigated. In this context, a three-phase experimental study was designed. First, mixtures with different ...
DETERMINATION OF UNSATURATED SOIL PROPERTIES FROM SIMPLIFIED EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES
Kenanoğlu, Melih Birhan; Toker, Nabi Kartal; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-27)
Unsaturated soil mechanics provides theoretical basis to researchers and practitioners for the solution of various geotechnical engineering problems. The implementation of developed theories and experimental techniques into engineering practice is, however, questionable. The development of simple and rapid experimental procedures that are compatible with existing theoretical models could be beneficial in this regard. In this study, a complete framework of practical procedures for obtaining unsaturated...
Effects of Soil Bridge Interaction and Abutment Deck Continuity on the Live Load Distribution Factors in Integral Bridge Components
Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat (2009-10-01)
In this study, the effects of soil bridge interaction and abutment deck continuity on the live load distribution in integral bridge components are studied. For this purpose, 2-D and 3-D structural models of typical integral and conventional bridges having various structural, geometric and geotechnical properties are built. The analyses of the models are then conducted under AASHTO live load. The analyses results revealed that soil-bridge interaction has significant effects on the live load distribution in a...
Uncertainties in the prediction of flow in a long reach of the Sacramento River
Ercan, Ali; Younis, B. A. (2009-12-01)
The accurate prediction of the flow field in a long reach of a complex waterway is prerequisite to the evaluation to acceptable engineering accuracy of strategies for the restoration, resource management and hazard assessment. In this study, we consider some aspects of the numerical prediction of flow in a long reach of the Sacramento River in California with view to gaining a better understanding the sources and the extent of the uncertainties that are present in the predictions. The predictions were obtai...
A preliminary design approach for Güledar irrigation dam project
Karpuz, Celal (1996-03-01)
This paper describes the results of engineering geological and rock mechanics studies carried out at the Güledar irrigation dam project. Project is designed to regulate the drainage and to irrigate the agricultural areas. The dam site is located within Güledar Sirkeli formations composed of sandstone, limestone and diabase. Studies maintained both at field and laboratory. Field studies included geological mapping, core drilling, sampling for laboratory testing, pressurized water tests, and intensive discont...
