Correlation of Schmidt hardness with unconfined compressive strength and Young's modulus in gypsum from Sivas (Turkey)
This study aims to express the relationships between Schmidt rebound number (N) with unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and Young's modulus (Et) of the gypsum by empirical equations. As known, the Schmidt hammer has ... -
Determination of land use/cover changes and land use potentials of Sivas city and its surroundings using Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS)
Karakus, Can Bulent; Cerit, Orhan; Kayak, Kaan Sevki (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2015)Land cover/use change information is a very important and useful source for planners in land use studies. Moreover, determination of land use potential by considering capability of the land and other characteristics provides ... -
Failure and flow development of a collapse induced complex landslide: the 2005 Kuzulu (Koyulhisar, Turkey) landslide hazard
Yilmaz, I; Ekemen, T; Yildirim, M; Keskin, I; Ozdemir, G (SPRINGER, 2006)Koyulhisar located in a slope of hilly region and constructed in the side of a mountain along the North Anatolian Fault Zone is frequently subject to landslides. A catastrophic landslide occurred on the morning of 17 March ... -
Geotechnical properties of clayey alluvial soils in the Erbaa basin, Turkey
Yilmaz, I; Karacan, E (V H WINSTON & SON INC, 2002)The properties of clayey alluvial soils in the Erbaa basin on the north bank of the Kelkit River were investigated in the field and in the laboratory. Based on the investigations, soil profiles were constructed and the ... -
Indirect estimation of the swelling percent and a new classification of soils depending on liquid limit and cation exchange capacity
Yilmaz, I (ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 2006)This paper describes the dependence of the swell percent (%S) on the soil properties, namely, liquid limit (LL) and cation exchange capacity (CEC). This study provides the statistical model that can be used to obtain an ... -
Investigation of the success of monitoring slow motion landslides using Persistent Scatterer Interferometry and GNSS methods
Hastaoglu, K. O.; Poyraz, F.; Turk, T.; Yilmaz, I; Kocbulut, F.; Demirel, M.; Sanli, U.; Duman, H.; Sanli, F. Balik (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2018)The purpose of this study is to determine deformations in landslide areas with two methods, Persistent Scatterer Interferometry (PSI) and GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). In the Koyulhisar landslide area, 53 GNSS ... -
