Evaluation of waste in seismic metamaterial applications
Özet
Within the scope of this study, a simulation study was carried out in order to prove the usability of waste in seismic metamaterial studies. In the study, a square array field application was preferred, and a 3-layer cylindrical pile design was used. In addition, direct contact of waste with soil and direct air is prevented. Within the scope of the study, polypropylene, which is frequently contained in medical products, concrete as a containment layer, and lime materials to prevent leakage of hazardous waste were used as materials. In addition, a design has been made within the soil structure as the ground structure. As a result of the study, it was determined that transmission losses occur in low frequency regions such as 3-10 Hz values due to obtaining partial band gaps. In addition, when looking at the propagation of the vibration waves in the field plane depending on the time, it is seen that the waves are significantly reduced, and the results are promising. © The Authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2023.
