large part of forest is scattered on the mountainous land. Whole forestry
activity and particulary, producing of woody raw material in forest and its
transportation to the consumption centres by constructed forest roads regularly
and steadily can only be possible thanks to adequately firm forest roads and establishing
of hydraulic construction buildings. As a study field, 35 km forest road within
the Yesiltepe Forest
District boundary was selected. On this forest road, totaly 31 existent
hydraulic construction buildings, consisting of 16 pipes, 7 culverts, 3 bridges
and 5 hamps were found and its was determined that only 40% of hydraulic
construction buildings can fulfil the their functions. Hydraulic construction buildings
technique viewpoint, in spite of the fact that dimentions of hydraulic construction
buildings were found appropirate they had same problems. It was become apperent
that especially constructed concrete pipes and culverts had lack of cement.
Furthermore, their maintanances were inadequate and some of them were almost
losing their functions. </p> <p style="margin:0cm 0cm 0pt;line-height:normal;" class="MsoNormal"> <span style="font-family:’Times-Roman’;font-size:10pt;"> <br /> </span> <span style="font-family:’Times-Roman’;font-size:10pt;"> </span> </p>}, number={1}, publisher={Artvin Çoruh University}
