Abstract

Determination of soil properties and explanation of soil behavior are the basis of geotechnical engineering. Theories on soil behavior are developed from the 1900s, and today, a new phase has been started with new generation methods. Soil behavior can be modeled under the most complex conditions with the new generation numerical methods. While the determination of soil properties and the explanation of soil behavior are generally used in experimental studies and empirical theories obtained from these studies, nowadays, expert systems such as artificial neural networks, fuzzy logic, modification of existing experimental equipment and development of traditional experimental methodologies are frequently used. In this study, it is aimed to introduce new generation methods for determining soil properties and explaining soil behavior in geotechnical engineering.

Zemin Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesinde Yeni Trendler

Abstract

Zemin özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ve zemin davranışının açıklanması geoteknik mühendisliğinin temellerini oluşturmaktadır. Zemin davranışına ilişkin teoriler 1900’lü yıllarda geliştirilmeye başlanmış, günümüzde ise yeni nesil yöntemler ile yeni bir aşamaya geçilmiştir. Yeni nesil nümerik metotlar ile en karmaşık koşullar altında zemin davranışı modellenebilmektedir. Zemin özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ve zemin davranışının açıklanması genel olarak deneysel çalışmalar ile bu çalışmalardan elde edilen verilen ampirik teorilerde kullanılması olarak yürümekteyken, günümüzde yapay sinir ağları, bulanık mantık gibi uzman sistemler ile mevcut deneysel ekipmanların modifikasyonu ve geleneksel deney metodolojilerinin geliştirilmesi sıkça kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu çalışmada geoteknik mühendisliğinde zemin özelliklerinin belirlenmesi ve zemin davranışının açıklanmasına yönelik yeni nesil yöntemlerin tanıtılması amaçlanmıştır.
