Rock supporting has a vital importance in longevity and sustainability of all underground openings. There are many types and forms of supporting systems available in the mining/tunneling industry. In recent decade, new polymer-based surface support material, thin spray-on liner (TSL), has started to take place of conventional surface support materials. Although TSL holds numerous merits and application purposes, the knowledge on mechanical properties of this material is in limited levels yet. In laboratory environment, researchers have generally studied the tensile failure mechanisms of TSLs. However, these experimental studies have observed to be carried out with misleading set-ups. Although the relevant test standards (ASTM -638) adopted from polymeric material testing to tensile testing of TSLs emphasize the exact displacement measurement location and methodology, researchers have neglected these procedures. In this study, importance of displacement measurement location of dogbone tensile test specimen on mechanical behavior determination of TSLs are studied. Axial extensometer and linear variable displacement transducer (LVDT) are used in the tensile testing of a polymeric TSL material (Meyco TSL-865, by BASF). Under the scope, 25 valid tensile tests are conducted and axial displacement is measured by two different ways simultaneously. Firstly, an LVDT transducer is mounted to the grips of the testing machine, as performed malpractice in the literature and secondly, an axial extensometer is attached to the gauge length of the dogbone specimen, as suggested by the standards. Resultant test findings reveal that the measured values show notable difference for tensile modulus and elongation at break for the TSL tested. LVDT measurements overestimates elongation at break by 3 times compared to axial extensometer. Consequently, the causes of measurement variations by two different methods are interpreted based on a fracture mechanics approach of the polymeric TSL material during tensile testing.

Isothermal Creep Behaviour Investigation of Thin Spray-On Liners Güner, Doğukan; Öztürk, Hasan (2017-06-28) Rock supporting has a vital importance in longevity and sustainability of all underground openings. There are many types and forms of supporting systems available in the mining/tunneling industry. In the last decade, a new polymer-based surface support material, thin spray-on liner (TSL), has started to take place of conventional surface support materials. TSL is defined as generally cement, latex, polymer-based and also reactive or non-reactive, multi-component materials applied to the rock surface with a ...
Probabilistic-numerical modeling of stability of a rock slope in Amasya-Turkey Gheibie, Sohrab; Akgün, Aykut; Department of Mining Engineering (2011) Rock slope stability is considered as one of the most important fields in rock engineering. Developments of computation facilities and increase in application of sophisticated mathematical concepts in engineering problems have also affected the methods of slope stability analysis. In recent years, the numerical modeling methods have extensively applied instead of limit equilibrium methods. Also, the probabilistic methods are considered in rock slope designs to quantify the uncertainties of input effecting v...
Development of construction and demolition waste-based engineered geopolymer composites with self-healing capability Ulugöl, Hüseyin; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-9) Construction and demolition waste (CDW) has been a popular alternative to mainstream precursors (fly-ash, slag, metakaolin, etc.) for geopolymerization. Its chemical content also has a promising future for self-healing behavior, which is strikingly important for sustainability. Engineered Geopolymer Composites (EGCs) meet one of the important requirements of self-healing with its limited crack width. In this thesis study, CDW-based materials were evaluated in the context of both geopolymer production and EG...
Evaluation of the complex kinematic failure mechanisms along Mudurnu Valley, Bolu, Turkey through the utilization of UAV Kelam, Arzu; Akgün, Haluk; Koçkar, M.k. (2018-06-22) Rock slopes can cause severe failures and they are crucial in characterizing rock masses realistically in order to overcome natural hazards. Mudurnu County, which is settled in a steep valley presents a case for regional rock instability problems. Instabilities of rock masses along the valley are triggered by topography, weathering, man-made and earthquake activities. Discontinuous limestone located at the west side of the Mudurnu valley is susceptible to complex kinematic failures resulting from the combin...
Biyolojik harç kullanımının tarihi anıtların kalkerli taşlarındaki mikro-çatlakları iyileştirme potansiyeli Bilecen, Kıvanç; Sırt Çıplak, Elif; Akoğlu, Kiraz Göze; Şahin Güçhan, Neriman (2021-12-01) Since the early ages, first human beings, then architects and civil engineers have preferred stones for the construction of historic monuments and buildings due to their durable nature. But in the course of time, these stones have inescapably been faced with different kinds of weathering processes because of several biotic and abiotic weathering factors. In calcareous stones, micro-cracks/fissures are the common deterioration forms resulting from these weathering processes, and in the long term, they affect...
