The allowable soil bearing capacity required for foundation design is calculated through various empirical methods using geotechnical parameters such as specific gravity and angle of internal friction. Standard Penetration Test (SPT) values of the soil are used in these calculations. Therefore, soil tests which engineers need, are costly and time-consuming. This study aims to determine the soil bearing capacity of Eskişehir city and present soil bearing capacity maps for shallow foundations. The geotechnical parameters of the soil were obtained from 40 borehole data made in the field. Within the scope of the study, bearing capacity maps were created for 0-5 m depth to provide an overview of the bearing capacity of Eskişehir soil. These maps were made in the Geographic Information System (GIS), which has a database that stores and analyses regular data. In addition, these maps can assist engineers working on shallow foundation design on the site.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45718982","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the performance of traditional-PPP and PPP-AR techniques for monitoring permanent displacements, considering different observation durations based on different satellite combinations. For this purpose, a displacement simulator that can move precisely in one direction and in the horizontal plane over a small distance was used. 6 different displacements were simulated, and all collected GNSS observations were evaluated with traditional-PPP, PPP-AR, and relative methods. Moreover, these methods were examined by considering the Global Positioning System (GPS), European Global Navigation Satellite System (Galileo), and GPS/Galileo satellite combinations. The findings clearly demonstrate that the superiority of the PPP-AR technique over the traditional-PPP technique in short-term observation durations and emphasize that the contribution of multi-GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) combinations to both methods.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41725808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Annual Maximum Flow is the highest flow rate ever recorded in a water year. Wherever this flow happens, it usually results in flooding. Snow melts and unexpected precipitation associated with temperature fluctuations are the two most important factors that create flooding. The deluge that follows kills people and destroys property in communities and agricultural lands. As a result, it's critical to predict the flow that causes flooding and take appropriate precautions to limit the damage. The prediction of the probability of the flood event in advance is very important for the safety of life and property of large masses and agricultural lands. Early warning systems, disaster management plans and minimizing these losses are among the important goals of the country's administration. In this study, It is used in five Current Observation Stations (COS) located in Yeşilırmak Basin in Turkey. By using 8 input data including geographical location, altitude and area information of these stations, AMF data were tried to be estimated for each COS. A total of 240 input data was used in the study. The data period covers the years 1964-2012. Unfortunately, AMF values cannot be monitored for all 5 stations used after 2012.Therefore, the data period was stopped in 2012. In this study, Multilayer Artificial Neural Networks (MANN), Generalized Artificial Neural Networks (GANN), Radial Based Artificial Neural Networks (RBANN) and Multiple Linear Regulation (MLR) methods were used. Input data sets were made into 4 packets and these packages were used respectively in both training and testing stages. Root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and correlation coefficient (R) were used as the comparison criteria. The results are as follow; MANN (8 Input) (RMSE = 119.118, MAE = 93.213, R = 0.808), and RBANN (2 Input) (RMSE = 111.559, MAE = 81.114, R = 0.900). These results show that AMF can be predicted with artificial intelligence techniques and can be used as an alternative method.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42181003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Within the scope of this study, the change in air pollution in Kocaeli between 2019 and 2021 was examined monthly. PM10 and SO2 maps were created with inverse distance weighted (IDW) technique using geographic information systems technology (GIS). The year 2020, when Covid-19 measures were taken, was compared with 2019 and 2021. Change maps were created by taking the difference between 2020-2019 and 2021-2020 with GIS technology. As a result of the research, it was determined that the level of air pollution decreased in 2020. On the contrary, in 2021, an increase in air pollution levels was observed. In the study, a decrease was observed in PM10 concentration during the Covid-19 lockdowns, however a decrease was not observed for SO2.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46386457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

High index values represent serious potential of water accumulation due to low slope, and the opposite for high slope. As expected from the term, slope, Digital Elevation Model (DEM) datasets play an important role in the calculation of TWI. DEMs are produced utilizing tachometry, GPS benchmarking, UAV, aerial or satellite image capture and LIDAR capabilities. However, no matter how it is generated from, a DEM is as good as the actual ground sampling algorithm, on which the final resolution is based. Using five different DEM resolutions coming from three global and one national presented in two different setting coverages, upper feeder basin of Bozkurt sub-province, Kastamonu, was analyzed emphasizing the urbanized part of the sub-province, which was devastated during the August 11th,2021 flood. Coarser resolution missed the overall precision while the finer resolution captured it nicely. On the flip side, finer resolution excessively fragmented the questioned area while the coarser resolution formed a unity coinciding with the destructed area recorded during the event.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44301327","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, these two fields were brought together and it was aimed to find the equivalents of the objects detected from the UAV images using deep learning in the global coordinate system and to evaluate their accuracy over these values. For these reasons, v3 and v4 versions of the YOLO algorithm, which prioritizes detecting the midpoint of the detected object, were trained in Google Colab’s virtual machine environment using the prepared data set. The coordinate values read from the orthophoto and the coordinate values of the midpoints of the objects, which were derived according to the estimations made by the YOLO-v3 and YOLO-v4 models, were compared and their spatial accuracy was calculated.

Images acquired by sensors onboard various satellite platforms are influenced by systematic sensor and platform-induced geometry errors. Thus, geometric correction of satellite images is an important step of image pre-processing to extract accurate and reliable locational information. Geometric correction of satellite images obtained from two different satellites, Pleiades 1A (PHR) and SPOT-6, was performed within the scope of this study using empirical models and a physical model. The 2D polynomial model, 3D rational function model with calculated RPCs from GCPs, 3D rational function model with RPCs from satellite, RPC refinement model using GCPs, and Toutin's physical model were used within this scope. Several experiments were carried out to investigate the effects of various parameters on the performance of the geometric correction procedure, such as GCP reference data source, GCP number and distribution, DEM source, spatial resolution, and model. Our results showed that lower RMSE values can be achieved with the model that uses RPC from data providers for PHR and SPOT that is followed by the RPC refinement method for PHR and Toutin method for SPOT. In general, GCPs from the HGM data source and ALOS DEM combination provided better results. Lastly, lower RMSE values, thus better locational accuracies are observed with PHR image except for single test.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44578305","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This leads to the formation of different types of glacial lakes. These lakes are not only the source of fresh water but it also causes disaster in the form of Glacial Lake Outburst Flood (GLOF). Astore Drainage Basin is located in north eastern mountainous region of Himalayas. This area is prone to GLOFs because of the increasing number of glacial lakes and the growth of existing lakes as a result of global warming. To provide a detailed information about the spatial and temporal information of glacial lakes detailed inventories has been developed for the study area using Landsat images for the year 1989, 1999, 2009 and 2019. Glacial lakes were mapped and identified by using Normalized Different Water Index, Normalized Difference Snow Index and high resolution Google Earth images. It was found from the analysis that the number of the glacial lakes increased from 120 to 128 in a period of thirty years (i.e. from 1989 to 2019). During the study period two lakes disappeared whereas ten new lakes were formed. There were 21 lakes which show area expansion more than 100% representing high susceptibility for GLOF. The results also showed that smaller lakes expanded more rapidly in area than the larger lakes.","PeriodicalId":42633,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Engineering and Geosciences","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46129737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
