Remaining service life assessment of bridges are needed when the visual inspection results indicate that there is serious degradation of structural members due to aging leading to not functioning as originally designed. These inspections can include detailed visual inspection of elements including recording crack widths and patterns, under water inspection, truck load tests, and material tests. This paper focuses on the inspection methods and determination of the remaining service life of a 57 year old reinforced concrete arch bridge. Based on a certain deterioration rate, the remaining service life of the bridge was assessed. Structural evaluation of highway bridges is a major concern especially when the aging infrastructure generates anxiety on bridge owners and public. Presented bridge evaluation is an interesting example to standardize bridge evaluation process.

Visual evaluation and remaining service life assessment of a reinforced concrete arch bridge: Çayirhan bridge Caner, Alp; Türer, Ahmet (2014-01-01) Remaining service life assessment of bridges are needed when the visual inspection results indicate that there is serious degradation of structural members due to aging leading to not functioning as originally designed. These inspections can include detailed visual inspection of elements including recording crack widths and patterns, under water inspection, truck load tests, and material tests.

Numerical assessment of tunnel advancement in problematic soil conditions: a case study Güneş, Anıl; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2021-1) Modeling tunnel advancement in complex ground conditions requires significant engineering judgment and is an integral part of the design and construction of tunnels. Insufficient data and improper design procedures may lead to dramatic consequences. Realistic estimations of the ground behavior, displacements, and support pressures are possible with accurate numerical models. In this study, the advancement of Tunnel A93 is investigated by 1-D semi-empirical assessments and two-dimensional finite element anal...
Numerical comparison of retaining system behavior for a deep excavation case with and without ground improvement Maghsoudloo, Arash; Ahmadinaghadeh, Reza; Toker, Nabi Kartal (2012-11-02) In the construction of deep excavations in urban areas, the safety of adjacent ground and structures becomes major concern for engineers. In soft clays, the main reason for occurrence of large deflections of soil support systems in excavations is instability of the excavation base. This paper will focus on analyzing and comparing design of an excavation with and without jet grout improvement applied to the excavation base by employing the finite-element code PLAXIS. A well-documented case study is analyzed,...
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...
Assessing potential environmental impact and construction cost of reclaimed masonry walls ÜÇER ERDURAN, DENİZ; Elias Özkan, Soofia Tahira; Ulybin, Aleksey (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-01-01) Purpose The recovery of building materials and their reuse in new construction should be considered during the design stage of every new project. This study was conducted to quantify the potential environmental impacts and the economic feasibility of reusing waste material in new constructions with an applicable design solution. Methods Wall pieces reclaimed from the demolition debris of a historic building in St. Petersburg, Russia, were inspected for potential reuse, and their mechanical strengths were de...
