Contact Info e-mail : acaner@metu.edu.tr tel : +90-312-210-2458 Information Dr. Alp Caner is an assistant professor who specializes in analysis, design, rehabilitation and retrofit of structures. He is a registered Professional Engineer in USA. His major research area of interest is on structural design and specifications. He is very experienced in steel, concrete and prestressed concrete, analysis and design. Prior to joining the METU faculty, he worked at Parsons Brinckerhoff, New York between 1996 and 2005. His designs not only included long-span bridges but also other transportation structures such as tunnels. He had also worked on design of couple of building and near shore structures. He had also worked in seismic retrofit projects as well. He had used the seismic isolation devices in his designs. Vibration analysis was one of his other expertises. He was also specialized in structural tunnel fire safety. Publication Info SSCI Core and Expanded Journals (International) • Caner, A., Yanmaz, A. M., Yakut, A.
