Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Experimental Investigation of Soil Disturbance Effect on Bearing Capacity of Organic Soil(Springer int Publ Ag, 2023-10-11) Cadir, Cenk Cuma; Kaya, Zulkuf; Yalcin, Hakan; Erol, Aykut; Uncuoglu, Erdal; Akin, MugeThe model test investigations on the soft soils are usually carried out on samples prepared in the laboratory and assuming site conditions. However, such soils that are prepared in the laboratory only partially reflect the site conditions. Considering this gap in the literature, this study mainly focuses on the bearing capacity and settlement behavior of the undisturbed organic soil obtained by a novel block sampling technique. The disturbed organic soil prepared in the laboratory was investigated with large-scale model experiments for two different footing types (square and rectangular). Vane Shear testing (VST), Dynamic Cone Penetration (DCP) tests, and finite-element analysis (FEA) were performed. The average bearing capacity values of disturbed and undisturbed soil were 60.98 kPa-68.71 kPa and 108.18 kPa-110.89 kPa for square and strip footings, respectively. Bearing capacity reductions of up to 40% were determined on laboratory-prepared soils. The cone reached the required depth (450 mm) with three blows for disturbed soil, while it was reached with four blows for undisturbed soil. Likewise, the undrained shear strength obtained by the VST was determined as 22.16 kPa and 16.60 kPa for undisturbed and disturbed soils, respectively. Shear strength losses of up to 25% for disturbed soils were observed. The bearing capacity values obtained from FEA were comparable to those obtained with the model tests. It was concluded that the degree of degradation of organic soils in the laboratory significantly affects the bearing capacity of the soil.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Characterization of Limestone Calcined Clay Cement Made With Calcium Sulfoaluminate Clinker(Springer int Publ Ag, 2024-07-02) Atasever, Muhammet; Erdogan, Sinan TurhanThis study concentrated on producing limestone calcined clay calcium sulfoaluminate cement by replacing portland cement in limestone calcined clay cement with calcium sulfoaluminate cement, with the goal of increasing the early strength of limestone calcined clay cement. The mineralogy and microstructures of hydrating pastes were investigated using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Heat evolution was studied using isothermal calorimetry. Strength development and workability were assessed on mortar samples. The 1 day strengths of limestone calcined clay calcium sulfoaluminate cement samples exceeded those of limestone calcined clay cement by similar to 30-80%, though its strength gain slows significantly after 1 day due to the lack of calcium silicates, affecting pH and clay dissolution. Despite this, the strength development of limestone calcined clay calcium sulfoaluminate cement, when adjusted for CO2 emissions, is comparable to limestone calcined clay cement. Additionally, limestone calcined clay calcium sulfoaluminate cement provides a 10-15% higher flow and exhibits a lower heat of hydration beyond 12 h, while maintaining a production cost similar to that of limestone calcined clay cement.
