Abstract

Claybearing Upper Pliocene red clastics and Quaternary alluvial deposits occupy the Ankara basin The clayey levels of the Upper Pliocene deposits referred to as Ankara clay is considered as a source for compacted clay liners due to their low coefficients of permeability and widespread distributions throughout Ankara This study investigates the geological geotechnical and mineralogical properties of the founding clayey soils at two sites of the Ankara region The geotechnical index properties along with the hydraulic conductivities of the clayey soil samples collected from these sites were determined A mathematical relation between the clay mineralogical content and hydraulic conductivity was established The results of this investigation show that from a geotechnical point of view Ankara clay may be regarded as a highly suitable material for a compacted clay landfill liner given that its mineralogical compatibility with leachate is confirmedThis work is supported by the Middle East Technical University METU Research Fund Project No AFP97–03–09–01 Thanks are due to Dr A P Őnen Mr Ő Aktürk and Mr U Demirtaş of the Middle East Technical University Department of Geological Engineering Ankara Turkey for their kind assistance in redrafting the illustrations in this manuscript
