Challenge
The Turkish Housing Authority wanted to convert an abandoned mining site into a 300,000 m2 housing complex comprising residential housing and park area with pedestrian walkways. Architects envisioned filling the mineâs âopen pitâ area to support the projectâs general design plan requiring a solution for the management of differential settlement of the fill material that would occur.
Solution
To manage the differential settlement, Maccaferri offered Paralink⢠as a basal reinforcement solution. Paralink⢠geogrids are unique planar structures consisting of a monoaxial array of composite geosynthetics strips. Maccaferri TURKEY worked with the housing authorityâs chosen design company to create a customized solution utilizing Maccaferriâs proprietary software to evaluate geotechnical parameters and meet design life requirements whilst being economically acceptable. The solution chosen was Paralink⢠200 installed in perpendicular and bidirectional planes providing 200kN in both x and y directions. Differential settlement was managed with a 2% material strain. A total of 682,600 m2 of Paralink⢠200 was supplied, along with 102,000 m2 clay liner.
