In this study, the performances of sand piles in Istanbul's Bağcılar and Zeytinburnu districts has been analyzed using Finite Element Method (FEM). Single group (triple) with various length/diameter ratios (L/D) were placed water-saturated soft clay soil. Sand modeled L/D (10, 5.71, 8.57). The distance between was chosen as 2 meters effect also investigated. A uniformly distributed load 162 kN/...

The effect of clay and chemical cross-linking on the dynamic mechanical properties polyurethane reinforced with different concentrations organically modified montmorillonite is investigated in this study. matrix constituted polytetrahydrofuran soft segment 4,4′-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate) hard segment. Glycerin was used as crosslinking agent, while Cloisite 30B reinforcing filler. nanocompo...

Soft clay deposits cause many problems due to low bearing capacity and high deformation. This paper presents the results of laboratory model tests for studying improvement soft clay-bearing using two kinds soil columns, first is slag-cement dust columns second bentonite column. Three from SCC (slag-cement columns) encased by Woven Geotextile are installed beneath a steel plate representing foot...
