Geotechnical Aproach For Energy Of Ecemiş Valley
ABSTRACT: Ecemiş Fault corridor includes huge landslides with several billions cubic meters, along Pozantı - Çamardı trough The trinity water-discontinuity-clay (WDC) is the main cause of geotechnical problems, The trinity WDC is well developed in this trough and plays a significant role in the formation of these landslides,. However, this trinity has created appreciably fertile lands for fanning. The Kamıştı dam, designed by the DSI (State Hydraulic Works), is on the downstream part of the Ecemiş corridor.. Upon the construction of this dßm, the extensive unstable masses on slopes of the reservoir will slide in to the dam to finish the economic life of the project. The conventional dams, as suggested by the DSI, destroy and/or burry natural and historical monuments forever. Besides thai, such dams change the prevailing climate.. In general, the dams with a wide reservoir lake inhibit snowfall and thus reduce subsurface infiltration. However, the proposed pressure pipeline system, has many advantages in terms of timing, environment safety-security and cost (TESC). It can generate more energy with less cost and saves the environment. The recommended project pressure pipe system consists of S small dams on the tributaries» S regulators on Ecemiş stream., S pipelines, ^ power plants.
