A study of the response of the Mustafa Inan viaduct to the Kocaeli earthquake

During the 17 August 1999 Kocaeli earthquake in Turkey, some of the viaducts and overpasses located on the Trans European Motorway (TEM) incurred various types of damage. The Mustafa Inan (M. Inan) viaduct, which consists of 10 equally spaced, 40-m-long, simply supported cell box girders, was damaged at seismic buffer stops located at the second longest pier in the central span.
