Deformation Measurements and Analysis with Robust Methods: a Case Study, Deriner Dam Turkish Journal of Science & Technology Volume 13(1), 99-103, 2018 Deformation Measurements and Analysis with Robust Methods: A Case Study, Deriner Dam Berkant Konakoğlu*, Ertan Gökalp Karadeniz Technical University, Department of Geomatics, Trabzon, TURKEY *[email protected] (Received: 15.02.2017;Accepted: 22.04.2017) Abstract Dams, one of the country's most natural and cheapest way to product energy, are built for energy production, agricultural activities and flood protection. Dams with high construction costs are subject to deformation due to some physical factors. Therefore, dams should be kept safe to prevent possible dam accidents, loss of life and property. Engineering structures (such as dams) should be monitored periodically by geodetic and non-geodetic techniques. Deriner dam is Turkey's highest double-curved concrete arch dam. In this study, we monitored deformation with GPS measurements. For this purpose, two period static GPS measurements were performed on the reference and object points in the study. Afterwards, GPS measurements were adjusted separately with respect to free adjustment method and then deformation analysis were carried out by using the adjusted coordinates and their cofactor vectors. Iterative Weighted Similarity Transformation (IWST) and Least Absolute Sum (LAS) methods were used as deformation methods to detect the displacement of the reference and object points. Keywords: Concrete arc dam, Deformation, Analysis, IWST, LAS, GPS. Deformasyon Ölçmeleri ve Robust Yöntemler ile Analizi: Deriner Barajı Örneği Özet Bir ülkenin enerji üretiminin en doğal ve en ucuz yolu olan barajlar enerji üretimi, tarımsal faaliyetler ve taşkın koruma amacıyla inşa edilmektedir. Yapım maliyeti oldukça yüksek olan barajlar çeşitli fiziksel faktörlerinden dolayı deformasyona maruz kalırlar. Olası baraj kazalarını önleyebilmek, can ve mal kaybını önlemek için barajlar güvenlik altında tutulmalıdır. Baraj gibi büyük mühendislik yapıları jeodezik ve jeodezik olmayan yöntemlerle periyodik olarak izlenmelidir. Deriner barajı sahip olduğu gövde yüksekliği ile Türkiye’nin en yüksek çift eğrilikli beton kemer barajıdır. Bu çalışmada deformasyonlar GPS ölçüleri ile belirlenmiştir. Bu amaçla referans ve obje noktalarında iki periyot statik GPS ölçüleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. GPS ölçüleri serbest dengelenerek, dengelenmiş koordinatlar ve kofaktör matrisler kullanılarak deformasyon analizi yapılmıştır. Referans ve obje noktalarındaki hareketleri belirlemek için deformasyon analiz yöntemi olarak İteratif Ağırlıklı Benzerlik Dönüşüm ve En Küçük Mutlak Toplam yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.

Regional Directorate, 56. Division Office, Kırıkkale, Turkey, 2 Necmettin Erbakan University, Engineering and Achitecture Faculty, Geomatics Engineering Department, Konya, Turkey. Abstract Turkey is a very rich country in terms of water resources. However, in order to use these resources efficiently, water must be stored safely. In this context, the best form of storage is the construction of dams. In our country, large dams, which are among the world's important dams, are being built. Although there are many advantages of large dams, the loss of life and property will be so great in case of a possible deformation or destruction. The fact that dams are under the influence of various forces, as well as being located in the earthquake zone of our country, necessitates continuous monitoring of our dams. Dams are generally monitored using geodetic methods and geotechnical devices. However, mostly details of these two methods are evaluated separately in dam monitoring. Evaluating the results of both methods together is very important for the comprehensive monitoring of the dam and the correct interpretation of possible deformations. In this study, large dams in our country and monitoring studies carried out by using geodetic and geotechnical methods in these dams are given in detail. Key words: Dam, Deformation Monitoring, Geodetic, Geotechnical 1.

Development of hydropower energy in two adjacent basins (northeast of turkey) Adem Akpınar1, Murat İhsan Kömürcü2, Murat Kankal2, Hızır Önsoy2 1Department of Civil Engineering, Gümüşhane University, Gümüşhane, Turkey 2Department of Civil Engineering, Karadeniz Technical University, Trabzon, Turkey ABSTRACT The main objective in doing the present study is to investigate the sustainable development of hydropower plants in two adjacent basins being located in northeast of Turkey, which are the Çoruh river basin being the least problem river of Turkey in respect to international cooperation as compared with Turkey’s other trans-boundary waters and the Eastern Black Sea Basin (EBSB) having great advantages from the view point of small hydropower potential or hydropower potential without storage among 25 hydrological basins in Turkey. The contribution of the hydropower energy potential in these basins to reconstruction of Turkey electricity structure is investigated and a comparison in between is carried out. Finally, it is found that the EBSB will be corresponded from 8.3% and 10.3% of nowadays total electricity energy production and net electricity consumption of Turkey, while Çoruh river basin will provide 7.40% and 9.19% of total electric generation and electricity consumption of Turkey, respectively, after all hydropower projects within these basins are commissioned. In other words, one-fifth of Turkey’s electricity consumption will be met from northeast of Turkey. For this reason, development studies and investments in the hydropower sector should be encouraged and supported and projects within these basins should be put into operation as soon as possible.

The natural course of fluvial alluvium transport is almost completely altered because of planned and constructed dams and coastal protection measures. Decreasing volume of sediment carried to the sea cause intensifica- tion of the shore erosion. The Black Sea Rivers and coastal areas of Turkey and Georgia are under heavy anthropogenic pressure because of the bed material extraction and coastal erosion rate. In this study, envi- ronmental effects of dams and related effects of sediment transport on coastal erosion in the Eastern Black Sea region are discussed.

Haselsteiner & V. Balat EnerjiSA Enerji Üretim A.S., Ankara, Turkey B. Ersoy Fichtner GmbH & Co. KG, Istanbul, Turkey ABSTRACT: The design of the dam case study presented was changed during different design and plan- ning stages, switching from an ordinary CFRD type to a quite sophisticated CFSGD with deep founda- tions. Whilst obtaining more detailed information on the geological conditions and the available fill mate- rials the engineers responsible decided to use the alluvial deposits close to the dam area for the fill. Originally, the dam was to have shallow foundations on the alluvial deposits present before clay layers with considerable thicknesses were encountered within the dam foundation. Therefore, the complete foundation concept had to be changed to a deep foundation in a highly permeable alluvium. Additionally, the left bank suffered from landslides during initial excavation works for the energy tunnel inlet so that the stability and design adjacent to the left bank has to be re-evaluated and re-designed. After agreeing on the detailed design principles and a general dam design material, investigations are ongoing and the opti- mization of the dam design is expected to be completed before starting dam fill works in mid of 2011. Keywords: CFRD, CFSGD, Sand-Gravel Fill, Rockfill, Meta-Flysch 1 INTRODUCTION In Turkey a huge number of hydropower projects are under construction. Frequently, these hydropower projects are for dams of considerable heights of more than 50 m (Haselsteiner et al., 2009a, b).
