Abstract

Crossing on the watery everglades zones is important and strategic matter in transit military equipment. Therefore, for first time construction geogrid concrete mats have been proposed. Concrete mats consist of light weight reinforced concrete beams with high strength which are connected using the geogrid network. Since geogrid networks have a high flexibility and resistance, can held together the concrete beams with lower thickness and be able to spread on watery land using crane. In this case, condition is prepared to cross military equipment and vehicles on the shallow and marshy river. In this study, how to design and build these mats has been studied .In this sense, the laboratory model which has been made by researchers has been utilized. Mats analysis done based on the machinery induced dynamic loads on in vitro models as well as the geogrid networks properties, their strength when crossing loads in construction stage, operation and transfer are analyzed. Strain gauges of TML Company set up on laboratory models then the amount of strain registries and are controlled.
