Assessment of environmental and engineering geological problems for the possible re-use of an abandoned rock-hewn settlement in Urgup (Cappadocia), Turkey Ulusay, Resat; Gokceoglu, Candan; Topal, Tamer; Sonmez, Harun; Tuncay, Ergun; Erguler, Zeynal Abiddin; Kasmer, Ozgu (2006-07-01) The Cappadocia Region of Central Anatolia having a very distinct culture is one of the attractive touristic sites of Turkey due to its spectacular and unique landforms and historical heritages. In this region, the structures carved into thick to massive tuffs survived and kept their original integrity for a number of centuries. Environmental and anthropological factors at the Cappadocia Region have been the main reasons for extensive subsurface and multi-purpose use in the past and present. In addition, the...
Assessment of risks on a territorial scale for archaeological sites in Izmir Yıldırım Esen, Sibel; Bilgin Altınöz, Ayşe Güliz (2018-01-01) This article focuses on natural, institutional, and human factors threatening archaeological sites. A methodology is developed for assessing risks to multiple assets on a territorial scale. The methodology consists of hazard assessment, vulnerability assessment, and risk assessment. Hazard assessment involves identifying hazard exposure areas and measuring the frequency and intensity of each hazard. Vulnerability assessment incorporates examining physical, managerial, and contextual vulnerabilities of struc...
Assessment of dewatering requirements for Çaldağ nickel mine in Western Turkey Cankara, Çiğdem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan; Department of Geological Engineering (2011) The purpose of this study is to assess the dewatering requirements of planned open pit nickel mining at Çaldağ Site in Western Turkey. Dewatering is required for safe and efficient working conditions and pit wall stability. With this scope, a groundwater model of the study area is developed and used to predict the dewatering rate. The methodology mainly involves data collection, site hydrogeologic characterization and development of conceptual model, followed by construction and use of a groundwater model t...

Assessment of sound transmissiion characteristics of tradtional timber framed dwelllings in Ankara Turkey Erdil, Meltem; Çalışkan, Mehmet (null; 2015-03-03) The impact and airborne sound transmission characteristics of interior wall and floor components in traditional timber-framed dwellings (Ankara, Turkey) were examined by in-situ acoustical measurements and simulation analyses. Presence of voids for the running of pipework or door/ window openings existed in the composition of timber framed wall and floor components was found to reduce their sound insulation performances in the range of 12-22dB. Air/sound leakages through the openings should be sealed...
