The  Bosphorus  Bridge  is  an  iconic  suspension  bridge  with  a  span  of  1074m  located  in  the heart of İstanbul, Turkey. Constructed in 1973, it is the first bridge over the Bosphorus Strait, connecting  Asia  and  Europe.  Carrying  3  lanes  in  each  direction,  the  bridge  is  an  extremely important  link  of  the  city  transportation  network  with  an  average  daily  traffic  over  180,000 vehicle/day.

Recently, the bridge has undergone a major retrofit work which also included replacement of the entire suspender system.

BridgeWIZ provided services for evaluating the performance of the newly installed suspenders through the use of a temporary structural monitoring system installed on the bridge.

BridgeWIZ  team  first  performed  and  assessment  for  the  installed  monitoring  setup  and  then interpreted the data collected by the system. The behavior of the new vertical suspenders has been analysed under traffic and temperature loading and a performance evaluation has been done for the new vertical suspender system.
