Şemsettin Kilinçarslan  Zehra Rüya Kaya 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(18):555

The rapidly developing mining sector in recent years has also brought environmental problems together. At the beginning of these problems are mine process wastes produced in high quantities from mines every year. The waste material at 90% and the concentrate chromite at 10% are obtained in the chromite ore enrichment plants. This significant amount of waste creates pollution in nature visually and physically. The aim of the study is to determine the advantages of using foamed concrete as a building material, to reduce the production cost of foamed concrete, to produce alternative solutions for rehabilitation, and to eliminate environmental pollution. The chromite enrichment wastes obtained from Fethiye, Köyce?iz, Denizli and Burdur regions were used as aggregates in the production of foamed concrete. In this study, compressive strength experiments were carried out according to TS EN 1354, thermal conductivity experiments were carried out according to TS EN 12664. As a result, it has been observed that chromite waste (dunite) can be used in the production of foamed concrete under certain conditions.  相似文献   

Geochemical and environmental investigation of the water resources of the Tanjero area,Kurdistan region,Iraq     

Aras Kareem  Omed Mustafa  Broder Merkel 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2018,11(16):461

The hydrogeochemistry of groundwater and environmental aspects of the Tanjero area (Sulaimani City, Kurdistan region, Iraq) were investigated statistically. Correlation analysis and cluster analysis revealed several indicators for the source of contaminations. The hydrochemical classification of the water samples determined Ca²⁺, Na⁺, and Mg²⁺ as dominant ions and K/Rb and Na/Cl ratios indicated water–rock interactions with several minerals (e.g., silicate and carbonate minerals). Sr, Ca, Mg, Rb, and K (1757, 117, 29.8, 7.23, and 10.1 μg/L, respectively) in the water samples correlate with each other and show higher concentrations in the wells around scrape and dump sites than the other wells. The water samples were classified according to a redox classification as well, and aerobic and intermediate anaerobic categories were recognized with regard to the reduction of dissolved oxygen and Mn (VI) ions with organic matter in the groundwater. Mn exceeds drinking water standards.  相似文献   

Upper crustal electrical resistivity structures in the vicinity of the Çatalca Fault, Istanbul, Turkey by magnetotelluric data     

Gökhan Karcioğlu  Sabri Bülent Tank  Aysan Gürer  Elif Tolak Çiftçi  Tülay Kaya  Mustafa Kemal Tunçer 《Studia Geophysica et Geodaetica》2013,57(2):292-308

A magnetotelluric survey was performed at the Çatalca Region, west of Istanbul, Turkey with the aim of investigating geoelectrical properties of the upper crust near the Çatalca Fault and its vicinity. Broadband magnetotelluric data were collected at nine sites along a single southwest-northeast profile to image the electrical resistivity structure from surface to the 5 km depth. The dimensionality of the data was examined through tensor decompositions and highly two-dimensional behavior of the data is shown. Following the tensor decompositions, two-dimensional inversions were carried out where E-polarization, B-polarization and tipper data were utilized to construct electrical resistivity models. The results of the inversions suggest: a) the Çatalca Fault extends from surface to 5 km depth as a conductive zone dipping to southwest; b) the thickness of the sedimentary cover is increasing from SW to NE to 700 m with low resistivity values between 1–100 Ωm; c) the crystalline basement below the sedimentary unit is very resistive and varies between 2000–100000 Ωm; d) a SW-dipping resistivity boundary in the northeastern part of our profile may represent the West Black Sea Fault.  相似文献   

Simulation of dam-break waves on movable beds using a multi-stage centered scheme     

Stefania EVANGELISTA  Mustafa S.ALTINAKAR  Cristiana DI CRISTO  Angelo LEOPARDI 《国际泥沙研究》2013,28(3):269-284

This paper presents the application of the multi-stage first-order centered scheme GMUSTA to solve a two-phase flow model with four equations for simulating dam-break floods without and with sediment transport.Computation of generalized Riemann invariants can be particularly complex and costly in simulating dam-break floods with sediment transport.GMUSTA numerical scheme,which does not require complete knowledge of the eigenstructure of the hyperbolic mathematical model,offers a suitable and attractive option.The quality of the dam-break flood simulations with GMUSTA scheme is verified by comparing the results against laboratory tests and some experimental data available in the literature,on fixed and mobile bed conditions,with different bed materials and flush or stepped bottoms.The numerical results reproduce quite well the experimental evidence,proving that the model is capable of predicting the temporal evolution of the free-surface and the bed.The GMUSTA scheme,which is not only simple to implement but also both accurate and computationally efficient,is proposed as an appropriate tool for integrating non-equilibrium sediment-transport models.  相似文献   

Seismic landslide analysis: Gurpinar (Istanbul) as a case history   总被引：2，自引：2，他引：0

Slope failures triggered by earthquakes are among the most important soil mechanics problems. In this study, static and pseudostatic analyses of slope stability for earthquake conditions were carried out in the Gurpinar area. In situ testing (SPT) was carried out and laboratory samples were obtained from six boreholes (maximum depth 50.0 m) to determine soil classification and strength characteristics. Geophysical studies (seismic refraction and MASW) were also carried out in the area to estimate the structure and stiffness strength characteristics of the slope to 50.0 m depth. All field and laboratory data were used to determine the mechanical and structural (geometrical) behavior of the slope. In order to solve the slope stability problem, three soil slope models were considered. Pseudostatic analysis was carried out to estimate the earthquake acceleration seismic hazard in the region. These analyses showed that, while there was no potential slope instability under static load conditions, some problems would appear with increasing earthquake acceleration. A geotechnical slope improvement project is proposed for the study area.  相似文献

Pumping test of a water table aquifer is carried out to estimate the aquifer parameters, the obtained data were analysed through the solution of both Neuman (1975) and Jacob (1946) methods through AQTESOLV and Spreadsheet programs, the results of each methods are compared to evaluate the applicability and accuracy of the solution theoretically and practically. In the paper an example is presented, which is conducted for a constant rate pumping test from Ohio, in Fairborn (near Dayton), and it supplied by S.E. Norris (U.S. Geological Survey, Columbus, Ohio). The main objective of this study is to introduce both program and the way of the applications, and compare the results and the hand on of both programs in the field.  相似文献   

Automatic building extraction from very high-resolution image and LiDAR data with SVM algorithm     

Fevzi Karsli  Mustafa Dihkan  Hayrettin Acar  Ali Ozturk 《Arabian Journal of Geosciences》2016,9(14):635

Recent developments in the field of remote sensing have introduced new sensor technologies in usage of LiDAR, SAR, and high-resolution optical data. Classification performance is expected to increase through combining these various data sources. The purpose of this study is to develop a new approach for automatic extraction of buildings in urbanized and suburbanized areas. For this purpose, multi-feature extraction process including the spatial, spectral, and textural features were conducted on the very high spatial resolution multispectral aerial images and the LiDAR data set. SVM algorithm was trained by using this multi-feature data, and the classification was performed. After the classification of building and non-building, objects were extracted with high accuracy for the test areas. As a result, it has been proven that multi-features derived from combination of optical and LiDAR data can be successfully applied to solve the problem of automatic detection of buildings by using the proposed approach.  相似文献   

Experimental and numerical analyses of circular footing on geogrid-reinforced granular fill underlain by soft clay     

Ahmet Demir  Abdulazim Yildiz  Mustafa Laman  Murat Ornek 《Acta Geotechnica》2014,9(4):711-723

Experimental and numerical investigations into the bearing capacity of circular footing on geogrid-reinforced compacted granular fill layer overlying on natural clay deposit have been conducted in this study. A total of 8 field tests were carried out using circular model rigid footing with a diameter of 0.30 m. 3D numerical analyses were performed to simulate soil behavior using finite element program Plaxis 3D Foundation. The results from the FE analysis are in very good agreement with the experimental observations. It is shown that the degree of improvement depends on thickness of granular fill layer and properties and configuration of geogrid layers. Parameters of the experimental and numerical analyses include depth of first reinforcement, vertical spacing of reinforcement layers. The results indicate that the use of geogrid-reinforced granular fill layers over natural clay soils has considerable effects on the bearing capacity and significantly reduces the lateral displacement and vertical displacement of the footing.  相似文献
