Abstract

Examination of Relationships Between Menard Pressuremeter, Standard Penetration and Laboratory Tests Data on The Silty Soil (Kastamonu, Turkey) Determining the deformation characteristics of soils is one of the most important parameters of geotechnical designs. Since the laboratory tests could not represents soil masses and obtaining reliable specimens is expensive, various in-situ tests have been developed. Menard pressuremeter test gives realistic results, but it requires excessive time, cost and experience. Hence, cheaper methods are needed to obtain parameters indirectly. In this study correlations between Menard pressuremeter, standard penetration and some laboratory tests data are investigated during a research conducted for the sandy silt in Kastamonu. Equations were derived with regression analyses which yielded high coefficients of correlation

Abstract

Zeminlerin deformasyon özelliklerinin belirlenmesi geoteknik tasarımların en önemli unsurlarındandır. Laboratuvar testlerinin zemin kütlelerini yeterince temsil edememesi, güvenilirlerin ise pahalı olması çeşitli arazi deneylerin geliştirilmesini sağlamıştır. Menard presiyometre testi geoteknik incelemelerde oldukça doğru sonuçlar vermesinin yanında fazla zaman, maliyet ve tecrübe gerektirmektedir. Bu nedenle bu parametrelere daha ucuz yöntemlerle ve deneysel denklemlerle ulaşmak ihtiyacı doğmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Kastamonu’da yürütülen bir incelemede kumlu siltlerde elde edilen Menard presiyometre, standart penetrasyon ve bazı laboratuvar test verileri arasındaki korelasyonlar incelenmiş, regresyon analizleri yapılmış, determinasyon katsayıları yüksek denklemler elde edilmiştir
