Differences in the geotechnical properties of two types of gypsum: alabastrine and porphyritic
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2007)
This study reports an investigation into the physical and mechanical characteristics of fine-grained (alabastrine) and coarse-grained (porphyritic) gypsum from Sivas, Turkey. The geotechnical properties improved as the ...
A method for mapping the spatial distribution of RockFall computer program analyses results using ArcGIS software
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2008)
Rockfalls are a natural process of cliff and hillside erosion and can be simulated by computer programs. RocFall is a useful and well-known program which produces envelopes of kinetic energy, velocity, bounce height and ...
Landslide susceptibility mapping using frequency ratio, logistic regression, artificial neural networks and their comparison: A case study from Kat landslides (Tokat-Turkey)
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2009)
The purpose of this study is to compare the landslide susceptibility mapping methods of frequency ratio (FR), logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANN) applied in the Kat County (Tokat-Turkey). Digital ...
GIS based susceptibility mapping of karst depression in gypsum: A case study from Sivas basin (Turkey)
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2007)
A method is presented for mapping of collapse susceptibility using Geographical Information System (GIS). Collapses in karst terrains are very serious geological hazards and can damage engineering structures and cause ...
A case study from Koyulhisar (Sivas-Turkey) for landslide susceptibility mapping by artificial neural networks
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2009)
A case study for the use of an artificial neural network (ANN) model for landslide susceptibility mapping in Koyulhisar (Sivas-Turkey) is presented. Digital elevation model (DEM) was first constructed using ArcGIS software. ...
A case study of crushing resistance of Anatolian sands at lower and higher density
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2008)
Particle breakage occurs when the stresses imposed on soil particles exceed their strength. In order to determine the crushing resistance, Anatolian sands were collected from three different locations in Turkey. Mineralogical, ...
GIS based statistical and physical approaches to landslide susceptibility mapping (Sebinkarahisar, Turkey)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2009)
The case study presents GIS-aided statistically and physically based landslide susceptibility mapping in the landslide-prone Avutmus district of Sebinkarahisar (Giresun, Turkey). Field investigations, analysis of geological ...
A case study for mapping of spatial distribution of free surface heave in alluvial soils (Yalova, Turkey) by using GIS software
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2008)
A procedure for producing a surface heave map using GIS package in clayey alluvial soils is proposed. An active zone was first defined, and the layers in the active zone were subdivided according to their swelling ...
Swell potential and shear strength estimation of clays
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2009)
This paper deals with the indirect estimation of the two main parameters of cohesive soils (swell percent and shear strength) that play an important role in the deformation of structures. While the literature contains ...
The effect of swelling clays on a water transport canal between Kokluce HPP and Erbaa HPP (Turkey)
(SPRINGER HEIDELBERG, 2007)
Geological mapping has confirmed the presence of swelling clays in the area of the proposed water transport canal between Korkluce and Erbaa, Turkey. A swelling pressure distribution map was prepared for this part of the ...
