  • The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey
    ©2020 Published in 8th International Symposium on Innovative Technologies in Engineering and Science 23-25 October 2020 (ISITES2020 Bursa - Turkey) https://doi.org/10.33793/acperpro.03.01.51 The Methods Used in Monitoring of Large Dams in Turkey Haluk BALI1*, Salih ALCAY2 1 The General Directorate of State Hydraulic Works, 5. 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.

  • 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.

    International Balkans Conference on Challenges of Civil Engineering, BCCCE, 19-21 May 2011, EPOKA University, Tirana, ALBANIA. 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.
