| Abstract: |
It is one of the primary tasks of the General Directorate of Highways to repair and maintain the historical bridges which are of great importance in view of our cultural history in accordance with the projects to be developed or caused to be developed, apart from the recently constructed roads and bridges. In this paper, the restoration works carried out on the stone bridges with arches which are proven to be durable against the factors such as earthquakes, dams, variable water flows and heavy traffic over the centuries as a consequence of the analysis made specifically for the original construction techniques and the interaction between soil, foundation and river, shall be discussed. |
