  • The Multi-Purpose Bottom Plug for the Galataport Project
    The Multi-Purpose Bottom Plug for the Galataport Project Salvatore Miranda, Technical Manager, TREVI Turkey, Istanbul (Turkey); email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: The paper describes an innovative geotechnical engineering solution that was provided by TREVI for the renovation project at Galataport in Istanbul, Turkey. Among other interesting geotechnical works included in the project, this paper also presents the design considerations and construction of the multi-purpose bottom plug (MPBP). This original geotechnical engineering solution was employed for a three-basement excavation in Karaköy and consists of a combination of seepage control, ground improvement, and load bearing elements, which were executed with double-fluid jet grouting, pseudo-elliptical jet grouting, and permanent micropiles, respectively. The paper describes each step of the design, execution, and the preliminary and final testing phases. Moreover, it highlights the importance of employing cutting-edge technologies used in deep foundation geo-construction and state-of-the-art electronic control devices, along with expertise, to obtain the desired results for this high-profile project. KEYWORDS: Ground improvement, Elliptical Jet Grouting, Bottom Plug, Liquefaction, Seepage Control, Micropiles. SITE LOCATION: Geo-Database INTRODUCTION The Port of Galata (or Galataport) is a passenger terminal for cruise liners, situated in the Karaköy neighbourhood of the Beyoğlu district in Istanbul, Turkey.

  • Aerial Photographs As Evidence and Record in Istanbul
    ITU A|Z • Vol 16 No 2 • July 2019 • 91-103 Towards a critical delineation of waterfront: Aerial photographs as evidence and record in Istanbul Gökçen ERKILIÇ1 , Ipek AKPINAR2 1 [email protected] • Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, İstanbul Technical University, İstanbul, Turkey 2 [email protected] • Department of Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, İstanbul Technical University, İstanbul, Turkey Received: December 2018 • Final Acceptance: May 2019 Abstract This paper develops a conceptual agenda and a critical cartographic methodology using aerial photographs to monitor the shaping of waterfront as a geography in Istanbul by humans. Starting from the first aerial photographs of Istanbul until present, the gaze of the vertical dimension in geographical space holds divergent evidences of spatial transformation captured in aerial views. From construction sites to building of coastal roads, demolishing of port scapes and technological rifts of logistic flows, to large infills in longshore space; events and moments of spatial deformation of coastal space become visible and evident through aerial photography. Aerial gaze, when considered within an archeology of a developing military reconnaissance technology, is presented as an ironic tool to shed light to evidences and historical record of spatial transformation within an act of witnessing. Viewing coastal unfixity through aerial photographs are argued here to provide two different temporalities: longue and court dureé which operate in the eventual and geological time. As these photographs unveil, the material - geological body of the waterfront itself becomes the bearer of historical records of human and nonhuman relations that shape the coastal geography. The ground beneath is unfixed as it is pulled into a cartographic questioning tool of “critical delineation” of Istanbul’s waterfront.

  • Concentration Evolution of the Container Throughput in the Mediterranean Ports
    Treball de Fi de Màster Master in Supply Chain, Transport and Mobility Concentration evolution of the container throughput in the Mediterranean ports Author: Marc Morata Fernández Director: Manel Grifoll Colls Call: September 2017 ABSTRACT This report presents the analysis of the concentration evolution of the container throughput in the Mediterranean ports from 2.000 to 2.015. Nowadays, the Mediterranean region is not only a completely mature market but also one which presents a strong demand which is likely to continue growing during the following years. In order to examine the level of concentration of the container terminals, different indexes have been used. These are the Concentration Ratios (CR1, CR3 and CR10), the Gini coefficients and Lorenz curve, the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) and the new Geo-Economic Concentration Index (GECI). The main conclusions derived from this report are the following. Firstly, the total container throughput in the Mediterranean area during the last fifteen years has experienced an impressive growth, from 18.398.741 million TEUs in 2.000 to 46.166.931 million TEUs in 2.015. Secondly, the container throughput concentration has experienced a slight decrease during the first decade of the 2.000s (from a HHI of 0,069 in 2.000 to 0,054 in 2.015) after what it seems to have stabilised around the same values with minor fluctuations. Moreover, the gravity centre of the container traffic of the area has shift from the Western Mediterranean to the Central Mediterranean, especially due to the growth in number of total TEUs and market share of the ports of Ambarli (Turkey) and Port Said (Egypt).

  • Making of an Ottoman Port: the Quay of Izmir in the Nineteenth Century
    The making of an Ottoman port The quay of Izmir in the nineteenth century Elena Frangakis-Syrett Queens College, City University of New York The making of an Ottoman port he quay of Izmir (Smyrna), known at the time as ‘les Quais de Smyrne’,1 Tcomprised a stone breakwater running the length of the city along the shore, two harbours and a considerable port infrastructure. It was one of the engineering feats of the nineteenth century as well as a tribute to private enterprise and capital. It was the first harbour infrastructure of its kind to be built in Ottoman Turkey and one of the earliest in the Ottoman Empire.2 In design it was similar to the ports of Brest and Toulon, built by the same French company. Dussaud Brothers3 were engineers with a first-class inter- national reputation, having undertaken the construction of a number of ports: Cherbourg and Marseilles, besides Brest and Toulon, Trieste, Algiers,4 Suez and Port Said.5 The scale and modernity of the entire project put Izmir among the foremost city ports not only in the Near East but in the Mediter- ranean as a whole. It was a fitting distinction for a city that had dominated the external and internal trade of the Ottoman Empire since the middle of the eighteenth century.6 The commercial importance of Izmir In 1889, with the harbour infrastructure in place, the British consul stationed in Izmir noted the economic dynamism of the city port: Although, officially, the district of Smyrna [Izmir] only comprises the pro- vince of Aidin [Aydin], yet virtually its commercial influence extends over the most fertile portion of Asia Minor, including the provinces of Konia [Konya] and Adalia [Antalya], and parts of Angora [Ankara], Broussa [Bursa] and Adana besides the whole of the Turkish Archipelago.

Ankara has presented the megaproject as a strategic move that will turn Turkey into a logistics base and grant it geo-political leverage over both regional and internation- al trade and transportation routes. However, Turkey’s political opposition considers Canal Istanbul to be a rent-seeking project designed to attract international – prob- ably Chinese and Arab – investment in the hope of reviving Turkey’s deteriorating economy. The Canal may also affect the Montreux Convention, the decades old treaty that governs the Turkish Straits. Given the rivalry between the US and Russia, ques- tions around the Montreux Convention will add another point of contention, increase tensions and may also present serious consequences for Turkey. On April 5, Turkish police detained 10, and presence of non-littoral states’ warships summoned four, of the 104 retired admirals in the Black Sea to 21 days. The announce- who, in an open letter, expressed their con- ment triggered an immediate reaction from cerns that Canal Istanbul would jeopardise Moscow, which labelled the move a “pro- Ankara’s existing rights over the Turkish vocative measure”. Although the US ulti- Straits as granted by the Montreux Con- mately cancelled the deployment of these vention. The detainment of the admirals warships amid rising tensions, this series coincided with Washington’s notification of events nevertheless reminded those that it would deploy two warships to the watching of both the geo-strategic impor- Black Sea amid Russia’s military build-up tance of the Turkish Straits and the critical along Ukraine’s borders.
