Scour-induced reduction in bridge stability can develop vulnerabilities during a probable seismic event. This problem has been typically addressed by researchers as if these two extreme events have no joint probability of occurrence for a given range of time. This paper evaluates the stability of bridge piers subjected to various flood events followed by different seismic events with some known probability of occurrence. An analysis guideline is set for a probabilistic method to develop a matrix of analysis. In the case study, changes in structural response and stability of a bridge pier are identified using this probabilistic approach. Six different flood conditions evaluated under four different seismic events are analyzed to assess the structural stability. The low-level and high-probability flood events in combination with a moderate seismic event are determined to negatively affect the structural response. The reduction in structural stability is checked for column flexure, pile axial load, pile moment, and pile shear capacities.

Seismic Performance Assessment of Masonry Buildings Using In Situ Material Properties Cobanoglu, Baran; ALDEMİR, ALPER; Demirel, Ismail Ozan; Binici, Barış; Canbay, Erdem; Yakut, Ahmet (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-08-01) Seismic performance assessment of existing buildings requires the existing material's properties to be determined as this has a significant influence on the seismic risk. As one of the most common construction type in Turkey, masonry buildings are assessed generally based on the recommended material properties specified in relevant codes as opposed to testing of samples taken from the existing buildings. However, due to different material types and workmanship quality, the specified properties might be quit...
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...
Probabilistic assessment of earthquake insurance rates for important structures: Application to Gumusova-Gerede motorway Yücemen, Mehmet Semih; ERDİK, MUSTAFA ÖZDER (Elsevier BV, 2008-01-01) A probabilistic model is presented for the assessment of the earthquake insurance rates for important engineering structures, for which the seismic losses could be quite significant. The proposed model is used to estimate the earthquake insurance premiums for the structures taking place in the Bolu Mountain Crossing in the Gumusova-Gerede motorway Section, Turkey. The model requires two types of studies, namely: seismic hazard analysis and estimation of potential damage to structures based on damage probabi...
In-Depth Investigation of Seismic Vulnerability of an Aging River Bridge Exposed to Scour AVŞAR, ÖZGÜR; Atak, Bengi; Caner, Alp (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2017-10-01) The stability and structural performance of aged structures under extreme events are rarely investigated. The severe deterioration in current condition of aged bridges can trigger premature failures under regular floods or even mild earthquakes. A reliable bridge inspection program is required for condition assessment. Currently, Turkey, a seismically active country, does not have a regular bridge inspection program or management systems. This deficiency was highlighted by the collapse of the Caycuma Bridge...
Efficiency of Seismic Isolation for Seismic Retrofitting of Heavy Substructured Bridges Dicleli, Murat; Constantinou, Michael C. (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2005-07-01) In this paper, the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of bridges with light superstructures and heavy substructures in the state of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a representative bridge was selected by Illinois Department of Transportation. A detailed structural model of the bridge capable of simulating the nonlinear behavior of its components and soil-bridge interaction effects was first constructed. Iterative multimode response spectrum analysis (IMMRSA) of the bridge were c...
