    19 May 2011 Kutahya - Simav earthquake and evaluation of existing sample RC buildings according to the TEC-2007 criteria
    (COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH, 2013) Arslan, M. H.; Olgun, M.; Koroglu, M. A.; Erkan, I. H.; Koken, A.; Tan, O.
    This study examines the damage caused to reinforced concrete structures by the 2011 earthquake that occurred in Simav, Turkey. The study briefly reports on post-earthquake field observations, tectonic characteristics of the earthquake area, geotechnical characteristics of the field, and seismic characteristics of the earthquake. The main part of the study comprises a field study, material experiments, and performance analyses of two reinforced concrete buildings that survived the earthquake with medium level damage. The building performance was calculated and assessed according to the Turkish Earthquake Code requirements for existing building stock, and recommendations were made based on the findings.

    Effects of polypropylene fiber inclusion on the strength and volume change characteristics of cement-fly ash stabilized clay soil
    (ICE PUBLISHING, 2013) Olgun, M.
    An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the effects of polypropylene fiber inclusions on the geotechnical characteristics of a clayey soil that was chemically stabilized with cement and fly ash. For all stabilized soils, cement and fly ash were added at 8% and 30%, respectively. Reinforced stabilized soil specimens were prepared at four different percentages of fiber content (0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%, 1.0%) and three different fiber lengths (6 mm, 12 mm, 20 mm). Unconfined compressive and split tensile strength tests were carried out after 7- and 28-day curing periods. The volume change characteristics of the reinforced stabilized soil were determined using shrinkage limit and crack reduction values. The interactions between the fiber surface and the stabilized soil were analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy. According to the results, the compressive and especially the tensile strength values increased to a great extent following the addition of fiber into the stabilized soil. The highest strength values were obtained with 0.5-0.75% content for the 12 mm-long fibers. The shrinkage limit and crack reduction values increased with increased fiber content and greater fiber length, whereas volume changes decreased.

    Influence of Acetic Acid on Structural Change and Shear Strength of Clays
    (Springer International Publishing Ag, 2012) Olgun, M.; Yildiz, M.
    This paper presents shear strength test results and structural changes in clay soils with acetic acid. Two different clay soils were used, kaolinite and another containing montmorillonite with a mixed mineralogy, while pure water and various contents of acetic acid (20%, 40%, 60% and 80%) were used as pore fluids. Clay-pore fluid slurries prepared with a water content of twice the liquid limit of each acetic acid content were consolidated under a 100 kPa pre-consolidation pressure. Direct shear tests were conducted on samples taken from pre-consolidated mixtures in order to determine changes in shear strength. Additionally, optical microscope images and scanning electron photomicrographs were obtained in order to observe structural changes under the influence of acetic acid. According to the experimental results, significant increases occurred in peak shear strength and shear strength parameter values in both clays in parallel with increasing acetic acid content. These increases were higher in the clay with montmorillonite; in particular, there were substantial changes in the internal friction angle. Increasing liquid limit values with increasing acetic acid contents in kaolinite resulted in a substantial decrease in the other clay. The optical microscope images and scanning electron photomicrographs indicated that lumpy formations occurred in both clays with the addition of acetic acid, and their structures began to resemble that of a silt and fine sand form.
