The new trend in design of footbridges in Turkey is to utilize the cables. Some of these bridges have fake cables while others partially rely on the cable system. These steel composite bridges typically constructed over the highways span about 40 to 60 meters. It was observed that the bridges with fake cables can be substantially heavier than the ones with functional cables. The focus of this paper is to study importance of tensioning sequence of cables and impact of construction staging on the design forces at superstructure to have economical designs. A case study is illustrated as an example design.

Design of cast-in-place balanced cantilever bridges in Turkey Caner, Alp (null; 2010-01-01) The cast-in-place balanced cantilever bridges are becoming popular in Turkey. Most of the highway bridges are designed using a modified version of the AASHTO bridge specifications. Differences in US design practice and Turkish design practice will be summarized in this paper. The differences are usually observed in design loads and in selection of concrete material properties. The static and dynamic analysis of bridges including construction staging is similar to the ones in USA. A case study is presented a...
Seismic performance assessment of wide beam infill joist block frame structures in Turkey Karaaslan, Enes; Erberik, Murat Altuğ; Department of Civil Engineering (2015) Wide-beam frame buildings are prevalent in Turkey since 1980’s due to their advantageous characteristics such as ease of construction, construction speed and cost efficiency. However; according to recent experimental studies, wide beam systems demonstrate poor energy dissipation capacity under earthquake. The capacities of the wide-beams may not fully developed at the beam-column joints. The beam reinforcements that do not anchor to the core area of the columns may not reach their full capacities unless spe...
Seismic strengthening of masonry infilled r/c frames with steel fiber reinforcement Sevil, Tuğçe; Canbay, Erdem; Department of Civil Engineering (2010) Seismic resistance of many buildings in Turkey is insufficient. Strengthening using R/C infills requires huge construction work. Feasible, easy strengthening techniques are being studied in Structural Mechanics Laboratory of METU. In this project, it was aimed to develop an economical strengthening method. This method is based on addition of steel fibers and/or PP fibers in mortar and application of mortar on masonry wall. Project was sponsored by the Scientific and Technical Research Council of Turkey (TÜB...
Investigation of Wind Effects on Tall Buildings through Wind Tunnel Testing Kurç, Özgür; Shojaee, S. M. Nima; Uzol, Oğuz (2012-10-01) There has been significant increase in tall building construction in Turkey in the last decade. As the height of building increase, wind effects become more pronounced. Wind can interact with flexible buildings and can significantly magnify the wind loads and wind induced oscillations. Wind tunnel tests have been widely utilized for estimating the wind effects on buildings. In order to perform a successful test, however, flow conditions inside the tunnel must represent the actual conditions rather closely. ...
Development of mean site-dependent response spectra for new bridge designs in Turkey Sarica, Gizem Mestav; Askan Gündoğan, Ayşegül; Caner, Alp (Informa UK Limited, 2017-01-01) Bridges in Turkey have been designed using a modified version of AASHTO Load Factor Design Specifications. In this paper, a new design spectrum is being analysed to address the characteristics of the Turkish earthquake records. The main contribution of this study is to suggest a mean Turkish site-dependent response spectra especially for the constant velocity region by analysing a number of Turkish earthquake records. The findings are compared to the two different design spectra of AASHTO. The mean site-dep...
