| Abstract: |
The Izmit Bay Suspension Bridge will be the vital road connection between North and South coasts of the Marmara Sea. The safe, robust, reliable and durable design have been set for this mega infrastrucuture project to fulfil a minimum 100-year service life requirement under the severe environmental condition. The present paper deals with the design philosopy of the structural concrete developed for the construction of substructure components to achieve this challenging service life requirement and presents the controls performed from the stage of laboratory scale works to the field execution assuring long-term servicebility of the bridge structure. In order to comply with the design requirements, the highest attention has been paid to chloride induced corrosion risk and its mitigation measures, controlling early age crack ocurrance and temperature limits. |
