Examination of District Süleymanpaşa/Kumbag, province Tekirdag in terms of geotechnics

Abstract

As in the whole world, the rapidly increasing construction in our country in recent years
causes an increase in the demand for construction areas. With this demand, the construction
areas may not respond to the structures we will make as ground strength. As a result, in such
floors, the floor improvement process or the property of the structure to be built must be
changed. Therefore, structures cannot be considered separately from the ground on which
they will be built. It needs to be planned as a whole. Due to the fact that our country is a country
located in the earthquake zone, ground surveys should be carried out before the structures are
built. Although these ground surveys have been conducted more in the provinces, there are
not many geotechnical studies that address the district-based structure-ground relationship
and detail the ground infrastructure of the region by examining it. Therefore, in this study, we
aim to eliminate this deficiency by considering the Kumbağ region of the Suleymanpaşa
district of Tekirdağ from this point of view. For this purpose, ground survey reports prepared
in the last few years in the region have been discussed, as well as the static and dynamic loads
of the structures planned to be built, as well as the suitability of the structure to be built in
terms of the strength of the ground, the seats that may occur on the ground have been
calculated. Liquefaction conditions that will occur on the floors in the scenario of an
earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 in the region have been studied. It is discussed what kind
of works will be carried out on the ground in case of adverse situations that may occur before
and after construction in the region. As a result, a geotechnical infrastructure knowledge base
of the region has been revealed.
