Geotechnical Properties of Günkırı Tandır Clay and Usability in Construction
Journal Title: Rahva Journal of Technical and Social Studies - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Clay and clay minerals are a natural material that is widely used in solving environmental problems and in construction. It is widely used as a direct construction material in road and railway embankments, airports, earth and rock fill dams, embankments and water channels. In this research, the chemical and mineralogical composition, soil index and engineering properties of Günkırı Tandır clay, which was taken from the Günkırı town of the Güroymak district of Bitlis in the Eastern Anatolia Region, were examined. Its chemical, XRD and SEM analyzes were examined and it was determined that this clay contained illite type clay mineral. According to soil index tests, this clay is classified as low plasticity clay (CL) according to ASTM D2487 standard. As a result of the standard proctor test, the maximum dry unit weight and optimum water content of Günkırı Tandır clay were determined, and permeability, pinhole and dispersion tests were carried out by using these values. In the experiments, it was determined that this clay is impermeable and does not show dispersive properties. As a result; it was concluded that Günkırı Tandır clay, which was examined in this study according to its chemical and mineralogical composition, soil index and engineering properties, may be a construction material that can be used in engineering applications.
