Traffic load generation for the fatigue assessment of the 3rd Bosphorus bridge

• Lausanne: ICOM, 2015

This report presents the traffic simulation model for the fatigue life prediction of the stiffening cables and hangers from the 3rd Bosporus bridge in Istanbul, a 2164m long hybrid suspended/stay-cable bridge with a main span of 1408m. Probabilistic models for highway and railway traffic are developed based on traffic data.
