dc.description.abstractThis article presents a summary of the damage observed in bridges in the regions affected by the 6 February 2023 Kahramanmaras, T & uuml;rkiye earthquake sequence. A bridge database was developed based on the observations from multiple reconnaissance groups that visited the bridges. These reconnaissance groups collectively visited 140 individual bridges that were subjected to various intensities of ground shaking. The severity of the observed damage ranged from no damage to total collapse. The types of damage to bridge components mainly included cracking and shifting of abutments, failure of pier cap shear blocks, shifting or dislodging of bearing pads, cracking of girders and loss of prestress, plastic hinging at pier bases, residual pier drift, and distress to deck surfaces, handrails, and carried utilities. Recorded and estimated seismic intensity measures are presented for each bridge site, and statistical information and correlations were developed considering the intensity of shaking, bridge parameters, and observed damage. Observations from a few visited sites are presented as case studies to illustrate the common failure mechanisms. The bridge database and presented results are expected to serve as a reference for further analysis, such as statistical verification, correlation, or damage estimations, and discussion regarding the mitigation of the observed vulnerabilities of bridges in T & uuml;rkiye and those with similar construction worldwide.
