Long-Span Orthotropic Steel Deck Bridges of Turkey

open access: yesIOP Conference Series: Materials Science and Engineering, 2018
Long-span bridges are key structures for transportation systems and they are considerably needed in Turkey since it is a transit country between Europe and Asia Continents. Besides, Turkey has many large reservoir dams, so these kinds of bridges are essential to provide transportation.

Optimum design of composite prestressed concrete girder railway bridges [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This paper deals with the formulation of design optimisation of pretsressed concrete bridges. The bridge is of a slab-on-girder type, hence modeled as an equivalent orthotropic plate.

Structural behavior of deteriorated Gerber half‐joints in highway overpasses by nonlinear finite element analysis combined with a simplified uniform‐corrosion model

open access: yesStructural Concrete, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 5677-5707, October 2025.
Abstract Gerber half‐joints, broadly used in the last century as elements of concrete bridges, are prone to corrosion‐induced deterioration, which may lead to brittle shear collapse. It is of paramount importance to develop advanced numerical models for simulating the collapse behavior of Gerber half‐joints, taking material deterioration into account ...
