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: Cayirhan bridge
Caner, Alp; Türer, Ahmet (2014-07-11)
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.

Permanent support design for an existing drainage tunnel at ELİ mine in Turkey
Karpuz, Celal (null; 2007-12-11)
In this study, the results of a new permanent support system design for the re-use of an existing mine drainage tunnel driven through marl rock unit is presented. The tunnel which is 1050 meters long was driven by drilling and blasting and temporarily supported by I section steel sets about two years ago. It is now planned by the mine management to be used as a transportation tunnel for many years. Along the tunnel route, two different rock mass units which were named as marl and graywacke units were en...
Technological characteristics of abrick masonry structure and their relationship with the structural behaviour /
Aktaş, Yasemin Didem; Türer, Ahmet; Department of Archaeometry (2006)
The aim of this study is to investigate the physical and mechanical properties of construction materials in relation with the structural behaviour of a historic structure. Within this framework, the brick masonry superstructure of Tahir ile Zuhre Mescidi, a XIIIth century Seljuk monument in Konya was selected as case study. The study started with the determination of the basic physical (bulk density, effective porosity, water absorption capacity), mechanical (modulus of elasticity, uniaxial compressive stre...
Numerical simulations of reinforced concrete frames tested using pseudo-dynamic method
Mutlu, Mehmet Başar; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2012)
Considering the deficiencies frequently observed in the existing reinforced concrete buildings, detailed assessment and rehabilitation must be conducted to avoid significant life and value loss in seismic zones. In this sense, performance based evaluation methods suggested in the regulations and codes must be examined and revised through experimental and analytical research to provide safe and economical rehabilitation solutions. In this study, seismic behavior of three reinforced concrete frames built and ...
Seismic retrofit of buildings with backbone dampers
Shaban, Nefize; Ozdemir, Seda; Caner, Alp; Akyüz, Uğurhan (2017-01-01)
Dampers have been effectively used in new designs and seismic retrofit of old structures in many parts of the world. The common seismic retrofit practice in Turkey is almost purely based on stiffening the structure with additional shear walls or adding braces to limit the excessive seismic drifts. Such an approach usually results in expensive interior works and enlargements of foundations. The stiffening of the structure typically results in attracting more seismic force. Utilization of dampers as seismic p...
