Assessment of Rockfall Potential in The Vicinity of Iskilip (Çorum)

Year 2023, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 219 - 232, 31.01.2023

Abstract

Rockfall is one of the most common types of slope instabilities. It is important to determine the source areas and to estimate the trajectories and run out distances of the blocks that have the potential to fall in order to be protected from the rockfall phenomenon that causes serious damage to the residential areas, the closure of the main transportation lines, and the loss of life and property. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate the rockfall potential of Hacıpiri and Tabakhane (Iskilip, Çorum), which are under the threat of rockfall. For this purpose, rockfall source area and geo-engineering characteristics of this area were determined, kinematic analyzes, rockfall risk classifications and two dimensional rockfall analyzes were performed. According to the analyzes made for the rockfall source area consisting of Eocene aged conglomerate unit, it was determined that the run-out distances of the blocks with fall potential varied between 140 m and 210 m and that these blocks could reach the settlement area. In addition, flexible rockfall barriers are modeled using Rocfall software to prevent possible rockfalls and/or reduce damages that may occur in the study area. The analyzes show that these blocks can be prevented from reaching the settlement area with flexible rockfall barriers with appropriate properties.

İskilip (Çorum) Civarının Kaya Düşmesi Potansiyelinin Değerlendirilmesi

Year 2023, Volume: 15 Issue: 1, 219 - 232, 31.01.2023

Abstract

Kaya düşmesi yaygın olarak gözlenen şev duraysızlığı türlerinden biridir. Yerleşim alanlarının hasar görmesine, ana ulaşım hatlarının kapanmasına, can ve mal kayıplarına neden olan kaya düşmesi olgusundan korunmak için kaynak alanların belirlenmesi ve bu alanlarda düşme potansiyeli olan blokların yörüngelerinin ve menzil mesafelerinin tahmin edilmesi önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kaya düşmesi tehdidi altında bulunan Hacıpiri ve Tabakhane Mahallelerinin (İskilip, Çorum) kaya düşme potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla, kaya düşmesi kaynak alanı ve bu alanın jeo-mühendislik özellikleri belirlenmiş olup, kinematik analizler, kaya düşmesi risk sınıflamaları ve iki boyutlu kaya düşmesi analizleri yapılmıştır. Eosen yaşlı konglomera biriminden oluşan kaya düşmesi kaynak alanı için yapılan analizlerde, düşme potansiyeline sahip blokların menzil mesafelerinin 140 m ile 210 m arasında değişim gösterdiği ve bu blokların yerleşim yerlerine kadar ulaşabileceği saptanmıştır. Ayrıca, inceleme alanında meydana gelebilecek kaya düşmelerini engellemek ve/veya hasarları azaltmak için kaya tutma bariyerleri de Rocfall yazılımı kullanılarak modellenmiştir. Uygun özelliklerdeki esnek kaya tutma bariyerleri ile bu blokların yerleşim yerlerine ulaşmasının önlenebileceği analizlerle ortaya konmuştur.
