    Assessment of bearing capacity and permeability of foundation rocks at the Gumustas Waste Dam Site (NE Turkey) using empirical and numerical analysis

    Alemdag, Selcuk

    In this study, the bearing capacity and permeability of andesite and andesitic breccia rock masses, forming the basement for Gumustas waste dam, planned as a rock fill housing, were evaluated using various empirical equations and numerical analysis. The total stress constituting over the basement caused through ore waste building up in the body of dam and reservoir was determined by a finite element method. Then, this stress was compared with bearing capacities calculated for the rock masses. The permeability of rock masses in dam site and the lake were appraised with pressure water test experiments (Lugeon method), performed within opened bore holes and finite element method (seepage analysis). Since chemicals seeping from waste dams into the ground water are of vital importance for human health and the environment, the dam body must be made completely impervious using upstream slope and reservoir geosynthetics.

    A study on the correlations between seismotectonic b-value and Dc-value, and seismic quiescence Z-value in the western anatolian region of Turkey

    Öztürk, Serkan

    The Western Anatolian region is one of the most seismically active sectors of Turkey where small-magnitude events with considerable clustering occur frequently. The spatial and temporal behaviors of seismic activity as quantified by the fractal dimension Dc-value, seismotectonic b-value and seismic quiescence Z-value are investigated for the Western Anatolian region. For this purpose, a statistical relationship is developed between b and Dc-values, and regional and temporal changes of these parameters are analyzed in order to reveal the potential of future earthquakes in the study region. By using standard deviate Z-value, current seismicity rate changes are estimated in the beginning of 2014. The Western Anatolian region is divided into 18 different seismogenic subregions. Orthogonal regression fit is preferred in order to estimate more up-to-date and reliable statistical correlation between two seismotectonic parameters. The relationship of Dc=2.74-0.29*b is computed with a significant negative correlation (r = -0.73) between b and Dc-values for the Western Anatolian earthquake distributions. There are clear fluctuations in the temporal changes of these two parameters and the same results are relatively obtained in previous studies in literature. Lower b-values smaller than 1.0 and also higher Dc-value are observed in the Burdur fault zone and Kütahya graben. In addition, the regions in which the lower b-values and the higher Z-values are estimated cover the Burdur fault zone, Aliağa-Dumlupınar faults and Bakırçay grabens. Consequently, the relationships between seismic bvalue, fractal dimension Dc-value and seismic quiescence Z-value may provide important evidences to put forth the next earthquake potential in Western Anatolia. In addition, monitoring of microseismic activity and behaviors of some other geophysical parameters should be analyzed in space and time and evaluated carefully.

    Geochemistry, Re-Os isotopes and highly siderophile element abundances in the Eastern Pontide peridotites (NE Turkey): Multiple episodes of melt extraction-depletion, melt-rock interaction and fertilization of the Rheic Ocean mantle

    Dokuz, Abdurrahman; Uysal, Ibrahim; Dilek, Yildirim; Karsli, Orhan; Meisel, Thomas; Kandemir, Raif

    We report on the structure, geochemistry, Re-Os isotopes and relative abundances of highly siderophile elements (HSEs) of the Paleozoic peridotite-basalt occurrences in the Eastern Pontide belt of northeastern Turkey. These peridotites and the associated basaltic rocks are the remnants of the Rheic oceanic lithosphere, incorporated into the Eurasian continental margin during the Variscan (Hercynian) orogeny. The peridotites display a complex record of multiple magmatic, metasomatic and metamorphic events in different tectonic settings during the evolution of the Rheic upper mantle. The Beyçam harzburgite (BH) contains low Al2O3 (0.51-1.88 anhydrous wt.%) and high MgO (41.35-42.34 wt.%) contents, and its bulk-rock trace element compositions are less than 10% of the primitive upper mantle (PUM) values. The platinum, Pd and Re contents of the Beyçam harzburgite are highly depleted, whereas its Os, Ir, and Ru contents are slightly enriched relative to the PUM values. Its Pd and Re contents that are higher than those of the fertile Pulur lherzolite (PL) to the south and the absence of an isochronous relationship between its 187Os/188Os and 187Re/188Os show that the trace element distribution and the isotope ratios of the Beyçam harzburgite were significantly modified after the first melt-extraction episode. The first melt extraction occurred beneath the Rheic mid-ocean ridge spreading center, whereas the second melt extraction occurred in a mantle wedge above a Rheic subduction zone. The primary magmatic phases of the Pulur lherzolite show the geochemical characteristics typical for fertile lherzolite, formed in the early stages of oceanic lithosphere generation subsequent to the continental break up. The Pulur lherzolite also contains a secondary magmatic phase in the form of networks of clinopyroxene veins and channels, which are interpreted as an evidence for solid state melt-rock reactions between the lherzolite and a percolating basaltic melt above a subduction zone. This clinopyroxene addition resulted in the formation of variable concentrations of Al2O3 (2.47-4.33wt.%) and MgO (29.76-40.10wt.%) in the lherzolite. The rhenium, Pd and Pt concentrations of the Pulur lherzolite are depleted relative to the PUM values, whereas the Os, Ir and Ru concentrations are in the range of the PUM values as commonly observed in peridotites with a melt depletion history. The high suprachondritic 187Os/188Os is, however, inconsistent with a simple melt depletion history, and can be explained by the addition of radiogenic Os-bearing sulfide phases into the lherzolite as a result of melt-rock reactions. Basaltic rocks with an island arc tholeiitic composition from the Beyçam area represent the partial melting product of the moderately depleted Beyçam harzburgite and the basaltic parental melt from which the clinopyroxene precipitated. The covariation between the 187Re/188Os and 187Os/188Os of these basaltic rocks defines an isochron age of 377±8Ma (late Devonian). The combined structural, geochemical and isotope data indicate a prolonged history of multiple episodes of melt extraction-depletion, and melt-rock interaction and fertilization of the mantle lithosphere of the Rheic Ocean.

    Evaluation of energy absorption of macro synthetic and steel fiber reinforced concretes; [Evaluarea capacitătii de absorbţie a energiei de către betonul armat cu fibre macro sintetice şi fibre de oţel]

    Bolat, Hakan; Şìmşek, Osman

    This study aims to determine the energy absorption of concrete slabs (60×60×10cm) using polyester, polypropylene and steel fiber reinforced (SFRC, PYFRC, PPFRC) according to EN 14488-5. Significant differences in the energy absorption were observed between the concrete slabs strengthened with different fibers. The highest gain in energy absorption was observed in SFRC. Furthermore, concrete slabs strengthened with PPFRC and PYFRC showed 23.4% and 14.8% less energy to SFRC. Although the SFRC showed the highest energy absorption under directly negative conditions, it is important to evaluate the durability issues associated with SFRC, such negative conditions.

    Investigating the geophysical characteristics of gypsum through GPR

    Sari, M.S.; Bektaş, Ö.B.

    Gypsum crops out widely in the areas where the urbanization is intense in Sivas city center. In this study, in an appropriate selected area, geophysical characteristics and structure of gypsum have been investigated by applying geophysical methods of GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar). GPR measurements have been taken as 11 profiles with a Ramac GPR device by using 250 MHz shield-antenna. The distance between each profile has been taken as 2m and the length of each profile has been taken as 50m. All the area has been surveyed and ground radar sections have been obtained by GPR method. Gathering all the data, it has been found out that the areas with strong reflections (for the first 5m. depth) revealed in ground radar sections are not homogeneous massive gypsum bodies as presented in geological studies and contain different size and position fill material (clastic material). In addition, investigating such areas through GPR method has enabled to reveal the geophysical characteristics of the region as gypsum contains fractures-cracks, fillings and dissolution spaces.

    Accident analysis with the random parameters negative binomial panel count data model

    Coruh, Emine; Bilgic, Abdulbaki; Tortum, Ahmet

    We analyzed factors affecting the frequency of accident counts in 81 cities over a three-year period (2008-2010) with monthly data using random-parameters negative binomial panel count data models. Among models considered, the random parameters model with the correlated coefficients outperformed the other models and was found to fit the data best with almost a perfect prediction of the conditional mean level. Most of variables used to control for the variation in the frequency of accident counts play crucial role with higher significance levels. Also, marginal effects and elasticity estimates were derived to get more insight into the effects of percent and unit changes in the dependent variable in response to changes in the exogenous variables.

    Tectonic evolution of the northern shelf of the Marmara Sea (Turkey): interpretation of seismic and bathymetric data

    Tur, Huseyin; Hoskan, Nihan; Aktas, Gulten

    This study is based on the geological interpretation of 250 km2 of multibeam bathymetric data coupled with 300 km of seismic profiles recorded on the northern shelf of the Marmara Sea offshore Büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece Lagoons. The sea bottom morphology has a highly chaotic structure at the exit of the Büyükçekmece and Küçükçekmece lagoons. This chaotic surface structure is controlled by a basin-ridge system lying in the NE–SW direction at the exit of the Büyükçekmece Lagoon and by a relatively deep entrance observed at the exit of the Küçükçekmece Lagoon. In addition, the linear submarine slope parallel to the shoreline between the Istanbul Strait and the Küçükçekmece Lagoon is an important morphological structure of this area. The Istanbul Strait’s canyon on the northern shelf of the Marmara Sea and the elevated submarine plain west of this canyon are other important morphological structures observed at the sea bottom. The geologic interpretation of seismic profiles has allowed us to distinguish two seismo-stratigraphic units. The lower one is separated from the overlying units by a seismic sequence having a seismic facies from chaotic to parallel and the top represented by a high amplitude seismic reflector. Since these units get close to the sea bottom rising landwards, they are inferred to be the seaward continuation of the Oligocene–Upper Miocene units widely exposed on land. The upper unit, overlying the acoustic basement, whose parallel internal reflections onlap and downlap on the top of the acoustic basement, is interpreted as a Quaternary basin fill. Two groups of faults have been identified on seismic profiles and identified based on their characteristics in the study area. The first group consists of dip-slip faults trending NNE–SSW. These faults border the western slope of the Bosporus and the NNE–SSW trending basins offshore of the Büyükçekmece Lagoon. The second group of faults consists of NW–SE oriented strike-slip faults. These faults have created the linearities in the same direction at the sea bottom. As the result of comparison of these NW–SE-faults to the North Anatolian Fault Zone (NAFZ), this group of faults is likely to have a relation with the NAFZ. Therefore, it is considered that the mentioned faults may be reactivated in the region due to the stress created by the NAFZ.

    Stochastic seismic analysis of Kömürhan Highway Bridge with varying material properties

    Çavdar, Özlem; Bayraktar, Alemdar; Altunışık, Ahmet Can

    Stochastic seismic finite element analyses of the Kömürhan Bridge, the material properties of which are described by random fields, are presented in this paper. The stochastic perturbation technique and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) method are used in the analyses. A summary of MCS and perturbation-based stochastic finite element dynamic analysis formulation of the structural system is given. The Kömürhan Bridge, located on the 51st km of Elazığ-Malatya highway in the east of Turkey, was chosen as a numerical example. The Erzincan earthquake in 1992 was considered a ground motion, since it took place in the vicinity of the bridge. The material properties were considered to be random variables. During the stochastic analysis, displacements and internal forces of the bridge under consideration were obtained using the perturbation-based stochastic finite element method (SFEM), as well as the MCS method. The selected random variables were elastic modulus and mass density. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed SFEM algorithm were validated through comparison with results of the MCS method.

    Evaluation of cadastre renovation studies in Turkey

    Döner, F.

    In Turkey, cadastral surveys have been carried out by various measurement techniques, at different standards and based on different legislation. Consequently, one of the most important problems with the cadastre is that approximately half of the current cadastral maps are insufficient to meet the expectations of today’s modern cadastre. In order to resolve the problem and renew the cadastral maps, the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre commenced the Land Registry and Cadastre Modernization Project in 2009. Within the scope of the project, it is intended that 10 million parcels will be renewed by the end of 2014. This study aims to evaluate the cadastre renovation studies in Turkey with respect to their legal and technical aspects using a case study area. Results show that cadastre renovation studies may be insufficient to enrich and update the cadastral data. As a solution, legal amendments should be made in the Cadastre Law in a manner that will allow a new cadastral survey to be performed.
