Different bridge specifications are used in bridge designs depending on special conditions and needs. Since each bridge specification has its own specific design requirements and structural safety margins, different bridge cross-sections can appear for the same bridge spans. In the literature, it is seen that the reliability index is accepted as one of the basic measures in evaluating structural safety of bridges. In this thesis, the reliability levels of prestressed bridge girders designed according to American and European bridge specifications are calculated and compared. The main purpose of this study is to compare the American and European bridge specifications, which are used predominantly in bridge design practice, to determine the difference between the structural safety levels of these specifications. In this study, bridges with span lengths of 25 m, 30 m, 35 m and 40 m were taken into consideration. KGM-45 type truck loading which is frequently used for bridge design in Turkey was determined to be live load model designed according to AASHTO LRFD specification. Eurocode load model 1 has been taken into consideration as a live load model calculated based on EUROCODE provisions. The uncertainties regarding the load and resistance components required to calculate the reliability index have been determined by considering the data obtained from local sources and international studies.

Reliability-based optimization of river bridges using artificial intelligence techniques
Turan, K. Hakan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih (Canadian Science Publishing, 2011-10-01)
Proper bridge design is based on joint consideration of structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical conformities. An optimization-based methodology has been developed to obtain appropriate dimensions of a river bridge to meet these aspects. Structural and geotechnical design parts use a statistically-based artificial neural network (ANN) model. Therefore, relevant data were collected from many bridge projects and analyzed to form a matrix. Artificial neural network architectures are used in the objective functi...
Drag characteristics of a historical bridge pier
Bülbül, Mehmet Mert; Denli Tokyay, Nuray; Department of Civil Engineering (2017)
The construction of river bridge requires placement of bridge piers within the river. These piers obstruct the flow and may cause an increase in water level on the upstream side of the bridge. This increase in water level has a negative impact on the stability of bridge and may be responsible for scouring action around the bridge pier. The shape of the bridge pier is an important factor. Since 20th century on, streamlined shapes for bridge piers are being used. It is also known that for the first time in hi...
SEISMIC RETROFIT OF OLD BRIDGES WITH SEISMIC ISOLATION
Caner, Alp; Shaban, Nefize (null; 2017-01-05)
A standard highway bridge has usually multi simple spans supported over piers by elastomeric bearings in Turkey. The bearings usually do not provide a positive connection but in contact with girder and pier by only gravitational forces. In this study, a model test bridge of about ½ scale have been shaken under low to moderate earth quakes to determine the change in response of the bridge with different seismic isolation configurations. Three configurations of bearings are elastomeric bearings, lead core bea...
Reliabilty-based optimization of river bridges using artificial intelligence techniques
Turan, Kamil Hakan; Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Proper bridge design is based on consideration of structural, hydraulic, and geotechnical conformities at an optimum level. The objective of this study is to develop an optimization-based methodology to select appropriate dimensions for components of a river bridge such that the aforementioned design aspects can be satisfied jointly. The structural and geotechnical design parts uses a statisticallybased technique, artificial neural network (ANN) models. Therefore, relevant data of many bridge projects were ...
Inspection and evaluation of a network of concrete bridges based on multiple NDT techniques
Akgül, Ferhat (Informa UK Limited, 2020-07-01)
Bridge condition rating is a crucial variable used for prioritisation of bridge needs in bridge management systems (BMSs). At present, bridge rating is predominantly based on visual inspections. A practical method incorporating non-destructive testing (NDT) results for rating bridges in a BMS is not available. In this study, an integrated rating method for reinforced concrete bridges based on both visual inspection and multiple NDT techniques with the ultimate goal of incorporating it into BMSs was develope...
