Abstract

In this study, the bearing capacity and settlement of the group piles planned to be constructed under an industrial-type overhead crane foundation have been evaluated. The crane will be able to move on two strip foundations that are 150 meters long and parallel to each other. A pile installation has been considered beneath this strip foundation, which is to be constructed on uncontrolled fill, in order to enhance the bearing capacity and minimize settlement. Eight boreholes, each 16 meters deep, were drilled at the study site. As a result of the field investigations, beneath the uncontrolled fill exceeding 10.5 meters, there is a layer of stiff-moderately plastic clay, followed by a layer exhibiting properties of hard rock and claystone. In this study, bored piles with a diameter of 65 cm and a length of 16.0 m have been designed to transfer the load to the competent strata beneath the uncontrolled fill. Evaluations conducted before and after the implementation of the designed pile system indicate that the group pile application is effective in enhancing bearing capacity and reducing settlements.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, sanayi tipi gezer bir vinç temeli altına yapılması planlanan grup kazıkların taşıma gücü ve oturması değerlendirilmiştir. Vincin ayakları birbirine paralel 150m uzunluğunda iki şerit temel üzerinde hareket edebilecektir. Kontrolsüz dolgu üzerine yapılacak bu şerit temelin altına taşıma gücünü desteklemek ve oturmaları azaltmak için kazık yapılması düşünülmüştür. Çalışma arazisinde 8 adet 16m’lik sondaj yapılmıştır. Yerinde yapılan çalışmalar sonucunda, 10.5 metreyi aşan kontrolsüz dolgunun altında katı-sert orta plastisiteli kil, son olarak da sert kaya özelliği gösteren kil-kil taşı yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada, yükün kazıklar aracılığıyla kontrolsüz dolgunun altındaki sağlam birimlere aktarılması için 65 cm çapında ve 16.0m boyunda fore kazıklar tasarlanmıştır. Tasarlanan kazık uygulamasının öncesi ve sonrasında yapılan değerlendirmeler ile grup kazık uygulamasının taşıma gücü ve oturmaların azaltılmasında etkili olduğu görülmüştür.
