Over the past years, a remarkable number of bridges have been collapsed or failed worldwide, underlying the growing importance of condition assessment of bridge structures within the context of health monitoring of structures and their life cycles become important to prevent such events. If utilised correctly, advanced Non-Destructive Techniques (NDTs) have proved to be effective in detecting imperfections such as bridge deck delamination, crack formation, and rebar corrosion. This paper presents the benefits of using Augmented Reality (AR) technology, applied combined, with visual inspection, Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), Laser Distance Sensors (LDS), Infrared Thermography (IRT), and Telescopic Camera (TC). Using this approach, a bridge was investigated for weaknesses such as cracks and rebar corrosion. The methodology implemented in this paper can enhance structural engineers and/or asset manager's decision making, related to applying advanced NDT to dynamically affected bridges.

Renovation of a safety-inspection methodology for river bridges Yanmaz, Ali Melih; Caner, Alp (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2007-09-21) River bridges and related infrastructural elements need to be monitored and inspected periodically for deterioration and loss of function due to aging, adverse hydraulic conditions, and chemical attacks. Necessary protective works and related actions should then be implemented to increase safety. Types of items to be inspected would be categorized as structural, geotechnical, hydraulic, and structural material conditions. Requirements for periodic inspections and the ways of handling these activities were d...
Development of Fragility Curves for Single-Column RC Italian Bridges Using Nonlinear Static Analysis Perdomo, Camilo; Monteiro, Ricardo; Sucuoğlu, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2020-05-07) The main objective of this study is to assess the accuracy and suitability of Nonlinear Static Procedures (NSPs) in the development of analytical damage fragility curves for seismic risk assessment of large portfolios of Reinforced Concrete (RC) bridges. Seven NSP approaches, from widely used single-mode conventional pushover-based approaches to the more rigorous multi-mode conventional or adaptive pushover-based procedures are implemented. By systematically comparing fragility curve estimations in terms of...
Bridge collapses in Turkey: causes and remedies Schaap, Hulya Sonmez; Caner, Alp (Informa UK Limited, 2020-12-01) Bridge collapses in Turkey have not been the subject of any comprehensive study so far. Investigations are often kept confidential for various reasons. As a result, most of the time only limited information can be found about these collapses with some exceptions such as the 1999 Arifiye Bridge collapse due to seismic event and the 2012 caycuma bridge collapse due to pier scour. Both resulted in fatalities, which drew public awareness from the first day. The focus of this paper is to identify the causes of b...
Performance of a Prestressed Concrete Pedestrian Bridge System under Equivalent Static Lateral Impact Loads Baran, Eray; French, Catherine (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2013-08-01) The resistance of prestressed concrete through-girder (PCTG) pedestrian bridges to lateral loads was studied in response to the increasing number of vehicular impacts in the United States. This research was motivated by the lack of reported studies analyzing the behavior of such bridges to lateral impact loads, as well as their potential vulnerability in comparison with bridges that are better able to redistribute and transfer locally applied impact loads through alternate load paths. Pedestrian bridges are...
Analysis of a highway embankment failure associated with the 1999 Duzce, Turkey earthquake Bakır, Bahadır Sadık (Elsevier BV, 2005-04-01) An embankment slope on a major highway totally collapsed during 12 November 1999 Duzce earthquake (M-w = 7.1) due to the intense near field ground motion. The slope had performed satisfactorily, without even minor deformations or cracks, during the Izmit earthquake (M-w = 7.4), another major event that occurred 3 months before and was far field. Predominantly coarse-grained fill of the embankment exhibited typical non-brittle behavior during laboratory tests, implying that the prefailure shear strength woul...
