A new hysteretic damper for seismic protection of highway bridges is presented. The Multidirectional Torsional Hysteretic Damper (MTHD) works based on torsional yielding of steel cylindrical cores. The device demonstrates a hyperbolic post-elastic stiffness as a result of its special working mechanism which produces this geometric hardening effect. The post-elastic stiffness was found to be effective in limiting the lateral displacement of the seismic-isolated bridge decks in near-fault. Results of nonlinear time history analyses revealed the adaptive behavior of the device which is a result of this gradual hardening feature, such that at lower displacements (DBE), force levels are close to a regular system while at highest levels of displacements (MCE), the device hardens to make the substructure yield and limit deck's displacement.

Seismic response of multi-span highway bridges with two-column reinforced concrete bents including foundation and column flexibility Yılmaz, Taner; Caner, Alp; Department of Civil Engineering (2008) Seismic design of highway bridges has improved as a result of the experience gained from large earthquakes of the last thirty years. Ductility demand and reserved capacity are extremely important response measures used in new bridge designs to assess target damage levels. However, the application of practical design approaches specified in bridge design codes is not well-defined for bridges over flexible foundations. Within the scope of this research, thirty two bridge models having varying column aspect ra...
Seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete overpass bridges with nonlinear analyses Cantürk, Tolga; Baran, Eray; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2) In this study, seismic performance assessment of reinforced concrete overpass bridges located along the currently under construction Kınalı-Tekirdağ-Çanakkale-Savaştepe Highway was conducted. Overpass bridges consisted of two-span precast concrete girders and reinforced concrete cast-in-place circular cross section columns. Because of proximity to active faults detailed seismic investigation of the region had already been conducted and site-specific seismic design spectrums had been developed. Structural de...
Stability analysis of a coupled structure: a railway tunnel and a road cut slope Ünlütürk, Burcu; Bilgin, Hasan Aydın; Department of Mining Engineering (2018) A road-cut slope is planned for the construction of a new highway at Zonguldak province. This slope will be excavated by bench blasting method in close proximity to the No 50 Turkish State Railway Tunnel which is a masonry lined 84 years old tunnel in service. The excavation will continue until –approximately- 56 m horizontal and 55 m vertical distances remain to the tunnel lining. The plane failure risk of the slope and the damage risk of the tunnel are two major risks. Investigating stability of the slope...
