Nuray Aydınoğlu, Vice Chairman Prof. Dr. M. Atilla ANSAL, Secretary Secretary - General of EAEE and TEF-EEC Prof. Dr. Hasan Boduroğlu Chairman of Turkish Earthquake Foundation Istanbul Technical University, Civil Engineering Faculty Prof. Dr. Kutay Özaydın Vice-Chairman of Turkish Earthquake Foundation - Earthquake Engineering Committee Yıldız Technical University, Civil Engineering Faculty Prof. Dr. Kadir Güler Secretary of Turkish Earthquake Foundation - Earthquake Engineering Committee Istanbul Technical University, Civil Engineering Faculty Purpose: SPONSORING ORGANISATION Turkish Chamber of Civil Engineers, Istanbul Section Boğaziçi University, Istanbul Technical University Yıldız Technical University, Işık University The majority of bridges situated in seismic zones have not been mostly designed and built according to latest design criteria and with respect to recent findings concerning earthquake characteristics. This brings a major challenge for the identification, seismic assessment and retrofit of a great number of vulnerable bridges in Europe and worldwide. In addition to procedures for seismic vulnerability, screening and rapid assessment of bridges, a great deal of effort has been spent in recent years for the development and application of performance-based seismic assessment and retrofit design methods. The 21 st regional seminar is mainly organised to inform young researchers, practising engineers and scientists about new developments in the field of seismic assessment and retrofit of existing bridges. The seminar will combine contributions from young researchers and engineers with keynote lectures by leading earthquake engineers. The lectures will present state-of-the-art lectures on the seismic assessment and retrofit of bridges.
