Within the confines of this paper, it is intended to understand cyclic behavior of clayey silt and silty clay mixtures, sampled from Adapazarı–Turkey. For this purpose, series of cyclic triaxial tests were performed on the samples retrieved from five selected soil sites, where buildings founded on these soils exhibited significant foundation displacements. After consolidating samples to 0.50 atm. cyclic loads were applied to simulate 1999 Kocaeli-Turkey earthquake shaking. Volumetric strains were recorded both during consolidation and after the end of cyclic loading. Following conclusions were drawn as a result of cyclic triaxial testing of Adapazarı soils: i) mixtures of low plasticity silts and clays can be cyclically liquefied based on either 100% pore pressure generation or 5% double amplitude axial strain criteria, ii) pore pressure build-up in silty clays and clayey silts is generally slower than that observed in sands and non-plastic silts, iii) rate of pore pressure build-up in silty clays and clayey silts is faster relative to sands at early portions of the number of cycles to liquefaction iv) low to medium plasticity silty clays can build up significant pore pressures (r u >70%) under reasonably low number of cyclic loads (N<25) at moderate to high CSR's (~0.3 to 0.5).

Cyclic palaeokarst surfaces in Aptian peritidal carbonate successions (Taurides, southwest Turkey): internal structure and response to mid-Aptian sea-level fall Yılmaz, İsmail Ömer; Altıner, Demir (Elsevier BV, 2006-12-01) The sedimentology and cyclic stratigraphy of palaeokarst structures in Aptian peritidal carbonate successions are interpreted using field and laboratory microfacies analyses of closely spaced samples from measured outcrop stratigraphic sections in southwest Turkey. Cycles displaying shallowing-upward metre-scale cyclicity are generally composed of lime mudstones/wackestones/packestones at the bottom and stromatolites or lime mudstones with charophytes and ostracods at the top. Subaerial exposure structures ...
Flow induced polymer-filler interactions: Bound polymer properties and bound polymer-free polymer phase separation and subsequent phase inversion during mixing Akay, G. (Wiley, 1990-11) The irreversible absorption of macromolecules on to solid filler particles during mixing in the melt is investigated. The molecular weight and concentration dependence of the absorbed layer thickness are evaluated and the chemical and morphological nature of the irreversibly absorbed polymer (bound polymer) are determined. It is found that the thickness of the bound polymer is not only dependent on the filler concentration but also dependent on polymer molecular weight. Bound polymer in high density polyeth...
Thermal stimulation of aqueous volumes contained in carbon nanotubes: Experiment and modeling Yarin, AL; Güvenç Yazıcıoğlu, Almıla; Megaridis, CM (2005-01-01) The dynamic response, as caused by thermal stimulation, of aqueous liquid attoliter volumes contained inside multiwall carbon nanotubes is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The experiments indicate an energetically driven mechanism responsible for the dynamic multiphase fluid behavior visualized under high resolution in the transmission electron microscope. The theoretical model is formulated using a continuum approach, which combines temperature-dependent diffusion with intermolecular interact...
Experimental investigation of particle filtration in compression resin transfer molding of advanced composites Aydil Dalkıran, Tuğçe; Erdal Erdoğmuş, Merve; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2014) With the inclusion of particle fillers in advanced continuous fiber reinforced composites, issues such as impregnation with increased viscosity of the injected resin leading to high process pressures and possible nonhomogeneous/directional composite properties due to filtering of filler particles necessitate the study of the relations between processing parameters and the resulting particle distributions. In this study, the particle-resin interaction during compression resin transfer molding (CRTM) and resi...
Cyclic volumetric and shear strain responses of fine-grained soils Bilge, Habib Tolga; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Although silt and clay mixtures were mostly considered to be resistant to cyclic loading due to cohesional components of their shear strength, ground failure case histories compiled from fine grained soil profiles after recent earthquakes (e.g. 1994 Northridge, 1999 Adapazarı, 1999 Chi-Chi) revealed that the responses of low plasticity silt and clay mixtures are also critical under cyclic loading. Consequently, understanding the cyclic response of these soils has become a recent challenge in geotechnical ea...
