Investigation of Kırıkkale City Drilling Results on Neighborhood Bases and Improvement of Consolidation Values by Fly Ash Contribution

Öz

Swelling of soil is known as a volume expansion under various climatic effects. The swelling potential of the clay ground causes significant deformations on the constructions. The city, economically hosting many military factories, refineries, natural gas conversion plants and hydroelectric power plants. It is also a transit point for trips with more than forty cities. When it is added to the population of more than two hundred tousand which is hosted, it is almost necessary for our country to examine the ground character of Kırıkkale in a healthy way. In the study, high plastice clay grounds (CH) were investigated in Kırıkkale province in 2014-2015-2016-2017 years. Considering the data from the drilling work, the neighborhood list will be prepared and the results of the treatment with fly ash additives will be investigated in order to reduce the swelling potential in the determined locations.
