INVESTIGATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DETONATIONS NEAR THE BATTALGAZİ CAMPUS OF İNÖNÜ UNIVERSITY, MALATYA, TURKEY ON SOIL SHALLOW-DEPTH

Abstract

This study was carried out in the İnönü University Battalgazi Campus and aimed to investigate the effects of detonations in the area used by the Turkish Armed Forces as a shooting range on Campus Site shallow-depth, by using the Multielectrode Vertical Electrical Resistivity (MVER) method. Combat aircrafts from the Turkish Armed Forces 7th Main Jet Base Command weekly carry out two shooting tests in the region. In the selected region, two MVER applications, prior to detonation and three months after detonation, were carried out in the same location and direction and measurements were compared to each other. The results showed that the shooting tests affected the shallow-depth.
