Transportation Risk Analysis (TRA) of Bosphorus Suspended Bridge, Using Probabilistic Approach

The expected destructive earthquake of Istanbul in the near future urges the researches to determine the proper and effective measures in order to make sure that the Bosphorus related traffic is affected at the possible lowest level. By considering the fact that the traffic on this bridge corresponds to the busiest in Turkey, especially in the peak hours, the amount of lives to be lost when the earthquake hits the bridge must be kept at the minimum levels according to the different scenarios. In this research a probabilistic approach is employed to develop a risk analysis model by manipulating the speeds of the vehicles and the length of the danger.
