The Söğüt Metamorphics are interpreted as the pre-Variscan basement of the Sakarya Composite Terrane. In the Central Sakarya area, the unit outcrops as slivers of an E-W trending belt disconformably overlain by the Jurassic Bakırköy Formation and Bilecik Limestones on the north. The Sakarya Metamorphics are thrust via the Tuzaklı-Gümele fault onto the Tertiary rocks in the south, which in turn disconformably overlie the ophiolitic mélanges of the İzmir-Ankara Suture Belt. The Söğüt Metamorphics are intruded by the early Carboniferous Sarıcakaya Granitoid, which is elongated E-W and consists of blasto-mylonitic granodiorite, quartz-diorite, and granite, cut by pink aplitic and pegmatitic dykes. The Sarıcakaya Granitoid displays calc-alkaline, I-type geochemical features and is interpreted to have formed in a magmatic arc setting. The age of the Söğüt Metamorphics are interpreted as pre-Carboniferous based on the U-Pb zircon ages obtained from the intruding granites (319-327 Ma). The mafic and ultramafic rocks are observed as bands, lenses, boudins or tectonic slices with highly sheared contacts within the host ortho- and para-gneisses having E-W trending foliation. The dominating rocks are amphibolites that were affected by the amphibolite facies metamorphism together with their host gneisses. The peak metamorphic conditions are defined by the cordierite-sillimanite-biotite paragenesis of the para-gneisses. The presence of migmatite fabrics in amphibolites and their host rocks, both in outcrop and thin-section scale is indicative for partial melting conditions. Overprinting retrograde metamorphism is defined by epidote-chlorite-muscovite paragenesis. Considering their field relations and petrographic features, amphibolites were divided into two protolithic groups as “fine-grained concordant amphibolites” and “coarse-grained metagabbros”. The next group of mafic and ultramafic rocks, on the other hand, are boudins of melano-and leuco-gabbro and serpentinite with well-developed cumulate texture. They were previously named the “Tozman Metaophiolite” and occur as discontinuous lenses, tectonically incorporated into the Söğüt Metamorphics. In this study, both unit’s preliminary metamorphic and petrologic features, petrogenetic correlation, and possible emplacement mechanism are discussed on the basis of field and petrographical observations, which will be later combined with the geochemical studies.

Geodynamic evolution of the Karakaya Melange Complex, Turkey: A review of geological and petrological constraints Sayıt, Kaan; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal (2013-04-01) The Karakaya Complex in the pre-Liassic basement of the Sakarya Composite Terrane includes relicts inherited from the closure of the Palaeotethys. The interpretations regarding its origin are still controversial. The main reason for these controversies is largely due to the melange character of the complex and the misidentification and misinterpretation of the tectonostratigraphic units that make up the complex. Kocyigit (1987) subdivided the complex into the Upper and Lower Karakaya Nappes. This tentative ...
Geochemistry and petrogenesis of the oceanic island and subduction-related assemblages from the palaeotethyan Karakaya subduction/accretion complex, central and nw Turkey Sayıt, Kaan; Göncüoğlu, Mehmet Cemal; Department of Geological Engineering (2010) The Nilüfer Unit of the Karakaya Complex at the pre-Liassic basement of the Sakarya Composite Terrane is composed mainly of metabasaltic lithologies with limestones, and minor cherts and mudstones. These metabasic assemblages show OIB- and E-MORB-type geochemical signatures with variable enrichment in the most incompatible elements relative to N-MORB. The Eymir Unit consists of variably deformed metaclastics, and constitutes the matrix in which the Nilüfer-type blocks are embedded. In the Ankara region, the...
Affine Osserman connections and their Riemann extensions Garcia-Rio, E; Kupeli, DN; Vazquez-Abal, ME; Vazquez-Lorenzo, R (Elsevier BV, 1999-09-01) Osserman property is studied for affine torsion-free connections with special attention to the 2-dimensional case. As an application, examples of nonsymmetric and even not locally homogeneous Osserman pseudo-Riemannian metrics are constructed on the cotangent bundle of a manifold equipped with a torsionfree connection by looking at their Riemann extensions. Also, timelike and spacelike Osserman conditions are analyzed for general pseudo-Riemannian manifolds showing that they are equivalent.
Shape recognition using attributed string matching with polygon vertices as the primitives Kaygin, S; Bulut, Mehmet Mete (2002-01-01) Attributed string matching has been utilized for polygon matching in various applications, in which line segments are the primitives. Adding a merge operator avoids the segmentation inconsistencies due to the noisy images or distorted shapes, however it is computationally expensive. In this paper, the vertices of the polygons are suggested as the primitives of the attributed strings. Deletion and insertion of a vertex corresponds to merging two consecutive line segments and splitting a line segment, respect...
Critical Truck Loading Pattern to Maximize Live Load Effects in Skewed Integral Bridges Dicleli, Murat (2014-05-01) An integral bridge (TB) is one in which the abutments are cast monolithically with the deck to form a rigid frame structure. When the geometry and conditions do not allow for designing straight IBs, skewed IBs (SIBs) are designed. Current bridge design specifications are mainly developed for regular jointed bridges. Thus, provisions for SIBs have not been included in these specifications yet. Consequently, to determine live load effects in SIB components, many practicing engineers built a three-dimensional ...
