Quality Assessment of Backfill Performance for an Underground Iron Mine in Turkey Karpuz, Celal (2016-09-12) A hybrid underground mining method is selected for Karacat iron orebody located mid-south east of Turkey. For production levels at higher elevations above 1497, sublevel stoping with stope dimensions of 10 x 25 m is proposed. Below this level, production is planned to proceed with 5x5m cut & fill stopes. Production sequence is arranged for primary and secondary stopes in the sublevels of upper levels. Rock mass properties for the orebody and host rock units were characterized by geotechnical investigations....

Physical and mechanical properties of lightweight expanded clay aggregate concrete Uysal, Orkun; Yaman, İsmail Özgür; Aktaş, Can Baran; Department of Civil Engineering (2023-1-27) Expanded clay aggregate is an artificial type of aggregate manufactured from clay, and it has a porous nature, making it lighter than normal weight aggregates. When used in concrete, this porous nature is decisive in the physical and mechanical properties of concrete. A comprehensive experimental study was carried out on physical and mechanical properties like density, absorption capacity, porosity, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity. In this context, 13 different mi...
Finite element analysis of deep excavation: A case study Aktas, Tugce; Calisan, Oguz; Çokça, Erdal (2018-01-01) World population increases day by day. In order to meet this increasing population’s basic needs such as sheltering, transportation and social activities, necessity for underground structures gradually increase. As a result, deep excavations become more important each passing day while excavations deepen. In order to design the optimum system which ensures the safety of environment, roads, structures and the excavation, the excavation properties should be modelled so that it reflects the actual geometry and...
Flocculation behavior of clayey dolomites in borax solutions Hoşten, Çetin; Cirak, Mustafa (2013-02-01) Flocculation behavior of two clay rock samples with different dolomite and clay mineral (smectite) contents was examined using a non-conventional, medium-anionic polyacrylamide-based flocculant in borax solutions. The samples were representative of two major types of gangue material discarded from the borax processing plant at Kirka/Turkey as borax-saturated tailings stream which present serious disposal problems from technical and environmental points of view. The effect of the dissolved borax concentratio...
