Noori, MustafaOlgun, Murat2024-10-032024-10-032019978-605-81854-3-2https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.13091/6314After the curing times were completed tri-axial tests were made on the samples. It was observed that strength increased as cement and silica fume content increased. In some of the designs although the cement and silica fume content were the same, a higher strength was observed on the design that had a lower W/C ratio. Despite the similarity in W/C ratio and silica fume but a very small difference in cement content in some other designs, there was not so much difference in strength. This indicates the effect of increase in strength that is caused by the use of silica fume. An optimization study was done to find optimum solution for the 7 and 28 days curing periods. Then verification samples were prepared for the 7 days curing period to see if the predicted strength would be achieved. Unfortunately, the observed strength was lower that the predicted one and this is due to the fact that the silica fume pozzolanic reactions are still ongoing and their effect on the strength is not yet visible after the 7 days curing period.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGeoteknikZemin MekaniğiDerin TemellerDerin Karıştırma KolonuKil ZeminConference Object
