## 5 Conclusions
The importance levels of the relationships between the bearing capacity and consolidation properties of the soil and other parameters should be known. While making these determinations, showing which of the physical properties of the examined soil affect the bearing capacity and settlement values with numerical values will contribute to the evaluation of the soil and the design of foundation models. As a result of the analysis of the data belonging to the gravel soil obtained from 27 boreholes, it was seen that some parameters increased the bearing capacity of the soil while some parameters decreased it. In the correlation analyses, it was seen that the amount of soil passing through the no. 200 sieve, water content, the amount of soil passing through the no. 10 sieve, and the cohesion coefficient increased the bearing capacity of the soil. It was seen that the effect rates of these parameters on the bearing capacity of the soil were 29.2% of the soil passing through the no. 200 sieve, 22.31% of the water content, 13.37% of the cohesion coefficient, 10.83% of the soil passing through the no. 10 sieve, and 2.71% of the excavation depth. However, it was seen that the groundwater level, unit volume weight, and internal friction angle decreased the bearing capacity of the soil in the examined gravel soils. It was observed that the groundwater level had an effect of 11.98%, the unit weight for gravel soil alone had an effect of 6.40%, and the internal friction angle had an effect of 3.20%. When the settlement analyses of the examined gravel soils are taken into consideration, it is seen that excavation depth, unit volume weight, water content, amount of soil passing through sieve no. 10, amount of soil passing through sieve no. 200, and internal friction angle reduce the settlement amount of gravel soil, while cohesion coefficient and groundwater level increase the settlement amount. Among the parameters that reduce the settlement amount, it is seen that excavation depth is 24.4%, soil passing through sieve no. 200 is 18.82%, soil passing through sieve no. 10 is 18.39%, unit volume weight is 14.57%, water content is 3.15%, and internal friction angle is 0.12% effective. It is also seen that cohesion coefficient is 20.27% and groundwater level is 0.24% effective. The parameters that increase and decrease the settlement amount of gravel soils are given proportionally according to their importance. According to these results, the soil parameters affecting the bearing capacity and settlement amount of the soil in terms of current engineering practices were expressed proportionally, and preliminary evaluations were made on how the bearing capacity and settlement amounts would be affected according to the soil parameters examined by the engineers. Moreover, it was shown which parameters have significant effects in which direction in gravel soils.
