Effect of vehicular and seismic loads on the performance of integral bridges
Erhan, Semih; Dicleli, Murat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
Integral bridges (IBs) are defined as a class of rigid frame bridges with a single row of piles at the abutments cast monolithically with the superstructure. In the last decade, IBs have become very popular in North America and Europe as they provide many economical and functional advantages. However, standard design methods for IBs have not been established yet. Therefore, most bridge engineers depend on the knowledge acquired from performance of previously constructed IBs and the design codes developed fo...
Lifetime condition prediction for bridges
Bayrak, Hakan; Akgül, Ferhat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2011)
Infrastructure systems are crucial facilities. They supply the necessary transportation, water and energy utilities for the public. However, while aging, these systems gradually deteriorate in time and approach the end of their lifespans. As a result, they require periodic maintenance and repair in order to function and be reliable throughout their lifetimes. Bridge infrastructure is an essential part of the transportation infrastructure. Bridge management systems (BMSs), used to monitor the condition and s...
Local scour characteristics around semi-circular end bridge abutments with and without collars
Tekin, Fatime; Köken, Mete; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
The major damage to bridges occurs due to scour of the bed materials around piers and abutments during severe floods. This study involves the experimental investigations of the various scour patterns forming around abutment models tested with and without collars as scour countermeasures. The experiments were conducted in a rectangular channel under clear-water scour conditions. In the first part of this study, 34 experiments were conducted with semi-circular end abutment models with and without a collar for...
Development of the bridge management system for Turkey by introducing a condition rating model based on damage types
Masoumi, Faraz; Akgül, Ferhat; Department of Engineering Sciences (2014)
The decisions regarding the maintenance, repair and replacement of bridges in developed countries are being made using databases and programs built on scientific and technical knowledge. The computer programs that are developed for this purpose are referred to as Bridge Management Systems (BMS; KYS in Turkish). The main function of a Bridge Management System is to keep the maintenance, repair and replacement costs of bridges at an optimum level throughout the bridge lifetime, to continuously sustain the saf...
