Seismic behavior of bridges is a vital issue for all earthquake prone countries. Accurate seismic analysis of bridges is important because bridges are one of the most important transportation networks in Turkiye which is an earthquake prone country located on three main fault lines as Northern Anatolia Fault, East Anatolia Fault and West Anatolia Fault. In engineering practice in Turkiye there are three main specifications which are AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications for Bridge Design, Eurocodes and Turkish Earthquake Specification for Bridges. Those have different seismic design criteria having different design response spectrum curves and time history analysis criteria. Time history criteria include selection of ground motion records, number of ground motions to be employed, scaling criteria etc. Also, there are different types of scaling methods and there is no strict rule of which one to choose. In this thesis three scaling methods are compared employing the three bridge design specification criteria for three different highway bridges having different fundamental periods.

COMPARISON OF ASCE/SEI STANDARD (2010) AND MODAL PUSHOVER BASED GROUND MOTION SCALING PROCEDURES FOR PRE-TENSIONED CONCRETE BRIDGES
Özgenoğlu, Müge; Arıcı, Yalın (null; 2017-11-01)
The seismic design and evaluation of large bridges is a demanding task owing to the significant size and the structural characteristics of these systems. Although elastic analysis methods are regarded as sufficient for common, uncritical bridges; complex analysis methods such as non-linear time history analysis (NTHA) are often required for non-standard and/or important bridges. The selection of the ground motions that will be used in non-linear time history analysis is a crucial task in this regard as the ...
Seismic performance of multispan simply supported slab-on-girder steel highway bridges
Dicleli, Murat (1995-01-01)
The seismic response of existing multispan simply supported slab-on-girder steel highway bridges, never designed to resist earthquakes, is studied. Elastic response spectrum analyses are conducted for bridges with different bearing stiffness, span length and number of spans. It is found that the response of two-span simply supported bridges is highly dependent on the stiffness of fixed bearings on the abutments, but this effect vanishes as the number of spans increases. The transverse direction seismic capa...
Seismic Response of Multi-Span Simply Supported Bridges Having Steel Columns
Dicleli, Murat (1996-01-01)
Seismic response of existing multi-span simply supported steel highway bridges, never designed to resist earthquakes, is studied. Dynamic analyses are conducted for bridges with different bearing stiffness, span length and number of spans. It is found that the response of two span simply supported bridges is highly dependent on the stiffness of fixed-bearings on the abutments, but this effect vanishes as the number of spans increases. The transverse direction seismic capacity of bridges having more than two...
Multi-Mode Pushover Analysis with Generalized Force Vectors
Sucuoğlu, Haluk (2009-07-01)
A generalized pushover analysis procedure is developed for estimating the inelastic seismic response of structures under earthquake ground excitations. The procedure comprises applying a generalized force vector to the structure in an incremental form with increasing amplitude until a prescribed seismic demand is attained. A generalized force vector is expressed as a combination of modal forces, and simulates the instantaneous force distribution acting on the system when a given interstory drift reaches its...
Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment for sliding displacement of slopes: an application in Turkey
Gülerce, Zeynep (2017-07-01)
Earthquake-induced slope instability is one of the major sources of earthquake hazards in near fault regions. Simplified tools such as Newmark's sliding block (NSB) analysis are widely used to estimate the sliding displacement of slopes during earthquake shaking. Additionally, empirical models for predicting NSB displacement using single or multiple ground motion intensity measures based on global (e.g. NGA-W1 database, Chiou et al. 2008) or regional datasets are available. The objective of this study is to...
