In this study, large-scale experiments have been carried out at 5th Regional Research and Development Headquarters Engineering of Highways in order to determine the contribution of the piles in the pile-raft foundation to the bearing capacity. The bearing capacity were determined for only the raft, the raft with single pile and the raft with four pile under static and repetitive loading. In the examinations, sand samples which were taken from a river bed were used. The sand was classified as uniform clean sand (SP) according to standarts.As a result of study following results were obtained. Only raft has reached lowest bearing capacity at different alternatives under static loading. When used single pile and four piles at piled raft foundation systems, the bearing capacity has increased by 1.130 and 2.52 respectively under static loading. As the number of piles increased, it was observed that the settlements at piled raft foundations under the same repetitive loading decrease.
This investigation was carried out to study the effect of fly ash on the field performance of asphalt pavement. Fly ash was used in stone mastic asphalt (SMA) during the construction of the wearing course of Gaziantep Ring Road. This SMA is the first application using fly ash in our country. The performance properties (rut depth and roughness and cracking in the pavement) were determined. In this research the inertial profilometer with camera has been used to measure rut depth, roughness and cracking of the road in 5th Regional Division of Highways of Turkey. As a result of this study, surface performance properties have been determined. Additional data will continue to be collected and analyzed during the next years. Performance models will be developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
