© 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Sandy soil-clay mixtures are commonly used as a liner/barrier material in various engineering applications, such as construction of hydraulic and waste containment. In this study, the hydromechanical characteristics of tuff-bentonite and tuff-bentonite/cement mixtures are investigated to propose a local barrier material. A series of free swelling, one-dimensional consolidation and falling head permeability tests for hydraulic characteristics as well as the direct shear test for mechanical characteristics were performed on four different tuff-bentonite mixtures and two different tuff-bentonite/cement mixtures. Test results show that the compressibility/swelling behavior of the mixtures increases with increasing bentonite content. The optimum amount of bentonite to achieve a permeability of less than 10–9 m/s, which is a liner/barrier design requirement, was found at 8% and 10%. The results of the strength tests indicate that the apparent cohesion increases with the bentonite content, while the apparent angle of friction decreases. Concerning the optimal mix treated with 3% and 5% cement, the test results show that the permeability and compressibility/swelling behavior decrease with the added cement content, while the angle of friction and cohesion increase. Finally, it was concluded that the 8% bentonite-92% tuff mixture treated with 3% cement is retained as a passive barrier material for landfill sites in arid and semi-arid regions.

Friction space and the re(dis)covery of urban roads Baş Bütüner, Funda; Guneri, Gizem Deniz (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited.For the majority of cities worldwide, car-based mobility has begun to be replaced by alternative mobility modes. This process has augmented the lens for infrastructural topics, and placed infrastructure's latent potentiality at the forefront. Car-dependent infrastructure, however, persists in and conditions urbanism in many others. For such cities, the encounter of roads with the city and human-scale spaces raises critical ground in n...
Real-time measurement of laser beam characteristics for a waterjet-guided laser machine Subasi, Levent; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Yaman, Ulaş (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.Waterjet-guided laser machining is a novel process used for precision cutting and drilling of various materials and geometries. There are many noise factors in the process affecting the laser beam characteristics, namely the effective cutting length and laser power in the waterjet. Although these variables are mainly set by the laser and waterjet parameters, uncontrollable factors result in variations. Pre...
ABS-Fly Ash Composite Filaments for Fused Deposition Modeling Alduais, Abdullah; Kazanç Özerinç, Feyza; Bayram, Göknur; Özerinç, Sezer (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd.Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most widely used additive manufacturing techniques for the fabrication of polymeric parts. Earlier applications of FDM mostly utilized pure polymers such as polylactic acid (PLA) and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). However, there has recently been an increasing demand for composite FDM filaments to obtain superior mechanical and physical properties. Fly ash (FA), a waste o...
Development of a three-dimensional basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically active near-fault region of Gölyaka basin, Düzce, Turkey Yousefi-Bavil, Karim; KOÇKAR, MUSTAFA KEREM; Akgün, Haluk (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature B.V.The high seismicity and tectonic activity of the study area located in a near-fault region in Gölyaka, Düzce, results in a bedrock geometry highly complex in the sense of faulting and deformation. This makes this area very challenging in terms of a site response study that would aid seismic hazard assessment. This study develops a basin model to evaluate the site effects in the tectonically formed Plio-Quaternary fluvial sedimentary layer...
Maximal paths recipe for constructing Web user sessions Bayir, Murat Ali; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı (2022-01-01) © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.This paper introduces a new method for the session construction problem, which is the first main step of the Web usage mining process. The proposed method defines user sessions as a set of navigation paths in the Web graph and produces a complete set of all possible maximal paths. Our new method is capable of generating navigation paths which cannot be extracted by using previous greedy approaches...
