Case study of landslide in the Karviná region using resistivity tomography measurements
The paper deals with the slide of Doubrava Vrchovec that occurs in district of Karviná in Doubrava Village. The slope deformation in this area was reactivated by mining effects and by precipitation. The studied area is the ... -
Consolidation and swelling properties of the clayey alluvial soils in Niksar basin [Niksar havzasi killi aluvyal zeminlerinin konsolidasyon ve sisme ozellikleri]
Yilmaz I. (1999)Properties of the clayey alluvial soils of the Niksar basin located at the right bank of the Kelkit River were investigated. The study consisted of both field and laboratory investigation programs. During these investigations, ... -
Evaluation of shear strength of clayey soils by using their liquidity index
Yilmaz I. (2000)It is well known that overconsolidated clays have higher shear strength than unconsolidated clays. The liquidity index makes possible an evaluation of the consolidation degree of clays. However, there is no empirical ... -
Geotechnical characteristics and mineralogy of compacted clays used as an impervious core for the camligoze dam, turkey
Yilmaz I.; Karacan E. (1996)Soil materials used to construct the impervious core of the Camligöze dam consist of clay minerals, quartz, feldspar, and calcite. Smectite and chlorite + kaolinite appear to be the dominant clay minerals. Illite-smectite ... -
Geotechnical evaluation of Miocene gypsum from Sivas (Turkey)
Karacan E.; Yilmaz I. (Kluwer Academic Publishers, Dordrecht, Netherlands, 2000)Gypsum is widely distributed in Sivas (Turkey), occurring chiefly in the formations of Miocene age. The gypsum is generally of the alabastrine type with a little of the porphiroblast type and contains traces of clay minerals, ... -
Gypsum/anhydrite: Some engineering problems
Yilmaz I. (2001)The engineering properties of gypsum/anhydrite change as a consequence of groundwater, pressure and heat. Gypsum and anhydrite may experience dissolution in the near-surface zone and along the discontinuities, creating ... -
Implementation of selected geobarriers for the landscape planning purposes in Slezska Ostrava (Czech Republic)
Marschalko M.; Yilmaz I.; Fojtová L.; Kube?ka K.; Bednárik M.; Stalmachová B.; Závada J.; Arencibia O. (2011)This article deals with the analysis of engineering-geological zones, flood lands and radon hazard. The main reason of the study is the insufficient use of engineering-geological data for land planning and designing ... -
A landslide in clayey soils: An example from the Kizildag region of the Sivas-Erzincan highway (Sivas-Turkey)
Yilmaz I.; Karacan E. (American Association of Petroleum Geologists, 2002)The Sivas-Erzincan highway, a major thoroughfare in Turkey, has been adversely impacted for years by landslides in the Kizildag region, resulting in high maintenance costs with time. This article illustrates slope stability ... -
Landslide inventory, sampling and effect of sampling strategies on landslide susceptibility/hazard modelling at a glance
Yilmaz I.; Ercanoglu M. (Springer Netherlands, 2019)Landslides have a significant portion of responsibility on the damages and losses caused by natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, storms, and tsunamis all over the world. Thus, landslides and their consequences are ... -
Landslide susceptibility mapping methods and use of artificial neural networks
Yilmaz I. (2005)Landslides have a large quantity of the natural disasters world-wide, this trend will increase in the future due to increased urbanization and development. The creation of maps of susceptibility, danger and risk is very ... -
On the reliability of SPT-N value as an indication of consistency of clayey soils
Investigation of the shear strength properties and consistency distributions of the clayey alluviual soils of the Niksar basin located at the right bank of the Kelkit River and evaluation of the shear strength of the clays, ... -

Selection of core material for an earth dam in the lower Çekerek basin, Tokat, Turkey
This study aims at determining the suitability of the impervious to semi-pervious soils in Çekerek basin (Tokat, Turkey), as core and filter materials in an earth dam. Laboratory experiments were carried out on 20 samples ... -
Some physical properties of sun-dried Berberis fruit (Berberis crataegina)
Işikli N.D.; Yilmaz I. (2014)The present study was conducted to evaluate some physical properties of sun dried Berberis fruit as a function of moisture content, varying from 9.59% to 27.90% (w.b.). Dried fruit length, width, thickness, geometric mean ... -
Study on the Performance of Lime Column Technique for Treatment of a Na-Bentonite Clay
Lime column technique is one of the common methods which are used in order to treat swelling soils. The improvement mechanism of lime columns is based on reactions between lime and clay as a result of ion migration from ... -
Surface runoff on loess: an example of a commonly overlooked hazardous process from northeast Czech Republic
Niemiec D.; Marschalko M.; Yilmaz I.; Cheng X.; Štábl S. (Springer Verlag, 2019)Engineering structures in the geological environment of loess sediments face a number of problems. An emphasis is placed on the surface runoff hazard and the case study of surface runoff on loess sediment, it being an ... -

This case study presented herein describes and analyses the results of the detailed surveys of landslides caused by toe erosion in Avutmus district of Sebinkarahisar (Giresun-Turkey), based on field and laboratory measurements, ... -
Toe erosion induced landslides from şebinkarahisar (Giresun-Turkey): Part II, physically based susceptibility mapping
This case study presented herein describes physically based susceptibility mapping in Avutmuş-Sebinkarahisar (Giresun-Turkey) and its vicinity using the SINMAP model. Sebinkarahisar has been recognized as a landslide-prone ... -
Unconsolidated clays from the inner shore of the Gemlik Gulf in the Marmara Sea (Bursa-Turkey)
Yilmaz I.; Üstünkaya M. (2004)The consolidation properties of clay samples from a marine environment were examined. Index, triaxial and odeometer tests were performed on the undisturbed/disturbed clay samples from 13 boreholes in the Gemlik Gulf ... -
