Shear test behavior of silty samples with bentonite additive

Within the scope of this thesis, the mechanical properties of bentonite clay mixtures of Adapazarı silt will be examined. Bentonite clay will be added to a pure silt (a silt sample with a low clay content) at the rates of 0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 40%, and the slip resistance will be determined as the contribution rate increases. Slip resistance will be determined by shear box tests in a laboratory environment. It was aimed to determine the variation of the cohesion and friction angle values ​​obtained as a result of the experiment with the clay ratio.
