Assessment of buried pipeline performance during the 1999 Duzce Earthquake
Yargıcı, Volkan; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Yücemen, M. Semih; Department of Civil Engineering (2003)
The goal of this study is to develop probabilistically based empirical correlations for seismic performance assessment of buried pipelines. Within the scope of these research efforts, pipeline performance case histories have been compiled from Duzce city after Duzce earthquake. The characteristics of Duzce water supply and distribution system with the earthquake damage on the system were studied. Correlations of the damage patterns with the water distribution system, earthquake and geotechnical characterist...
Assessment of rock slope stability for a segment of the Ankara-Pozanti motorway, Turkey
KENTLİ, BERKAY; Topal, Tamer (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01)
The Ciftehan-Pozanti segment of the Ankara-Pozanti motorway is problematic due to the existence of lithological units with variable characters. Ten cut slopes are planned along Km 352 + 350-Km 358 + 000 of the proposed motorway. The purpose of this study is to determine engineering geological properties of the rocks exposed along the motorway and to assess excavatability and stability of the cut slopes. Both field and laboratory studies were carried out during this research. Field studies involved detailed ...
Assessment of slope stability for a segment (km: 25+600-26+000) of Antalya-Korkuteli highway
Arıkan, Huriye Aslı; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2010)
The cut slopes at a segment between Km 25+600 and 26+000 of the Antalya-Burdur Breakaway-Korkuteli State Road to be newly constructed have slope instability problems due to the existence of highly jointed limestone. The purpose of this study is to investigate the engineering geological properties of the units exposed at three cut slopes, to assess stability of the cut slopes, and to recommend remedial measures for the problematic sections. In this respect, both field and laboratory studies have been carried...
Assessment of performance of horizontal drains in an open pit mine in eastern Turkey
Argunhan Atalay, Çidem; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2021-02-01)
© 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH, DE part of Springer Nature.Prediction of spatial distribution of pore-water pressure and its control are the main issues in open pit mines, since excess pore-water pressure is one of the main causes of slope instability. Horizontal drains are commonly used to relieve the excess pore-water pressure as a method of slope stabilization. This paper presents the efficacy of horizontal drains along two cross-sections in an open pit mine locate...
Assessment of plastic zone thickness and convergences for tunnels excavated in weak to fair quality rocks in Turkey
Satıcı, Özgür; Topal, Tamer; Department of Geological Engineering (2018)
Most of the ancient civilization structures were constructed under the ground, such as underground dwellings, transportation systems or storage facilities. In our modern era, underground constructions are still keeping their importance. Yet, every underground excavation requires prediction of rock mass behavior prior to excavation. Besides, this also means the prediction of convergences and plastic zone thicknesses after an excavation. In this thesis, development of convergences and plastic zone thickness d...
