Effects of biopolymer on some geotechnical properties of a sand

Akbulut N.; Cabalar A.F. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2014)

This paper presents an extensive experimental investigation on the use of ground improvement techniques and biotechnological applications on earth science. In recent years, investigations in geomicrobiology have enabled ...
Influences of grain shape and size distribution on permeability

Akbulut N.; Wiszniewski M.; Cabalar A.F. (Taylor and Francis - Balkema, 2015)

The present study investigates the effects of shape and size distributions of grains on the coefficient of permeability (k). A series of constant head permeability tests were performed to characterize the coefficient of ...
Transition fines contents of sand-clay mixtures under one dimensional compression

Cabalar A.F.; Akbulut N.; Isik H. (Taylor and Francis - Balkema, 2015)

Sand-clay mixtures can be considered as a composite matrix of coarser and finer grains. Nature of the interaction between sand and clay grains can be demonstrated using intergranular void ratio (es), and transition fines ...
