Cement-slag-bentonite slurry walls are self-hardening structures, and they are mainly used to retard contamination transport into the groundwater stream. Whilst permeability of a mixture is an initial criterion in slurry wall design and material selection, long-term performance is mainly influenced by curing ages and stress-state caused by adjacent soil. In this study, the steady-state of effective stresses at 7 days and 28 days of curing age is predicted The effect of the modulus of horizontal subgrade reaction, interface friction, and transition of the earth pressure from at-rest to the active condition was applied to develop the model. Unlike the quantities that the geostatic model presented, this method gives a slight decrease of stresses after a certain depth, and the trend is in good agreement with trends provided by previous studies. Furthermore, the predicted stresses are then applied to estimate the permeability of the wall at each depth and compare it with those obtained in the laboratory. Finally, predicted effective stresses stay lower than geostatic stress, and the slurry wall consolidation along with the sidewalls’ lateral squeezing leads to keeping the stress state under control.

AUTOMATION OF SPILLWAY GATE OPERATIONS BASED ON RESERVOIR WATER LEVEL MONITORING Khoram, Mohammad Khalid; Aydin, Ismail; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-9-02) Spillways are the safety structures of dams against floods. Various types of spillways having different hydraulic characteristics can be considered with variable geometric dimensions. On the other hand, hydrologic reservoir routing is an important tool in the optimization of dam reservoir operations for the purpose of water supply for various needs and electricity production in hydropower plants. Some spillways have gates to control and regulate the flow and to store an optimal amount of water. Other spillw...
Performance Evaluation of Internal Drains of Earthen Dams Çalamak, Melih; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2018-12-01) Seepage is always expected in earthen dams because they are made of porous materials. However, it should be always under control and its amount and pore-water pressures should be kept below acceptable limits. This can be satisfied by installing internal drains. This study reviews the characteristics of blanket, chimney, and toe drains and assesses their suitability and effectiveness for various material types and geometric characteristics in separate cases. Numerical simulations are conducted for steady-sta...
Design of settling basins and related problems encountered in practice Zaloğlu, Fatma Deniz; Göğüş, Mustafa; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) Settling basins are the hydraulic structures used to get sediment-free water from rivers mostly for hydropower systems. Mainly fine sediment is trapped along the settling basins and from time to time the accumulated sediment in the settling basin is flushed away. A wrong design of a settling basin creates lots of problems. In this study based on the hydraulic analysis of a settling basin, the available settling basin design procedures in the literature were reviewed. Some of the settling basins constructed ...
Replication of geomembrane interfaces using 3d printing (fused deposition modelling) technique Uragan, Semkan; Huvaj Sarıhan, Nejan; Department of Civil Engineering (2020-12-22) Geomembrane – soil interface is a critical consideration in geotechnical engineering applications such as liners and covers in landfills, canals or mine tailing dams. In some cases, lack of sufficient shear strength in these interfaces leads to poor performance, uneconomical design (such as requiring a longer geomembrane in an anchor trench), or may even lead to failure. To eliminate such problems, geometrical features known as asperities (or protrusions) are used on the geomembrane's interfacing faces. The...
Nonlinear analysis of RC frames retrofitted with structural steel elements Akpınar, Uğur; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Deficient concrete structures are serious danger in seismic zones. In order to minimize economical and human loss, these structures should be retrofitted. Selecting suitable retrofitting schemes requires detailed investigation of these systems. Considering these facts, this study aims to calibrate analytical models of systems with chevron braces and internal steel frames; and evaluate their seismic performances. First, analytical models of the frames with braces and internal steel frames were prepared and t...
