Cihanbeyli-Celil Boğazı (Konya) Peri Bacalarının Araştırılması ve Fiziko-mekanik Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Cihanbeyli (Konya) sınırları içerisinde bulunan Kuşça bölgesindeki peribacası türündeki jeolojik oluşumlar, doğal güzellik yönünden görülmeye değer olup bölge turizmi açısından çok yüksek potansiyele sahiptir. Doğal miras özelliği bulunan bu tür jeolojik oluşumların ayrıntılı bir şekilde araştırılarak turizm potansiyellerinin belirlenmesi ve bölgeye bir jeopark statüsünün kazandırılmasının sağlanması önemli bir konudur. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bu çalışmada, bölgede bulunan peri bacası oluşumlarından alınan kayaç örnekleri üzerinde bazı fiziksel ve mekanik deneyler yapılmış ve sonuçları değerlendirilmiştir. Bu sayede peri bacaları oluşumları hakkında önemli bilgiler edinilmiş ve koruma çalışmaları adına ilk adımlar atılmıştır. Yapılan çalışma ile bölgenin tanıtımı amaçlanmış ve bölgenin jeoljik yapısının jeopark olarak nitelendirilme potansiyeli belirlenmiştir.

Investigation of Fairy Chimneys of Cihanbeyli-Celil Strait (Konya) and Determination of Physico-Mechanical Properties

Abstract

Fairy chimney-type geological formations in the Kuşça region within the borders of Cihanbeyli (Konya) are worth seeing in terms of natural beauty and have a very high potential in terms of regional tourism. It is an important issue to determine the tourism potentials of such geological formations, which have natural heritage characteristics, in detail, and to provide the region with a geopark status. For this purpose, in this study, thin section analysis and some physico-mechanical experiments were carried out on the rock samples taken from the fairy chimney formations in the region, and the analysis results were evaluated. The geological definition of the rock forming the Cihanbeyli-Celil Strait Fairy Chimneys was found to be sandstone (wake stone) or dismicrite as a result of thin section analysis. It was determined to be 40, and it was defined as being in the “less soft” class. As a result of the density and porosity determination experiments performed in accordance with the methods suggested by ISRM 1981, it was determined that the sandstone samples had low density and high porosity properties. According to the uniaxial compressive strength test results, it was determined that the average uniaxial compressive strength of the sandstone samples was 8.09 MPa. According to this result, the sandstone representing the fairy chimney was defined as a "low strength" rock. When the point loading strength test results were examined, it was determined that the average point loading strength of the sandstone samples was 1.16 MPa, and it was determined that it was in the "low resistance" rock category. As a result of the slake durability resistance performed on the sandstone samples taken from the region in accordance with the methods suggested by ISRM 1981, it was determined that the resistance of the sample sandstone rocks to dispersion in water was "high". When the test results on the rock samples forming the Cihanbeyli-Celil Gorge Fairy Chimneys are considered as a whole, it has been determined that they are low density, high porosity, low mechanical properties and typical sandstone rocks. In this way, important information was obtained about the formations of the Cihanbeyli-Celil Strait fairy chimneys and the first steps were taken to introduce this geological formation. The aim of the study was to introduce the region and the potential of the region's geological structure to be described as a geopark was evaluated.
