AB  - Abstract - Masonry arch bridges are regarded as the oldest examples of engineered structures in the world and they reflect theculture of previous civilizations with their various sizes, styles, and spans. These bridges were constructed centuries ago addressingthe load-carrying problems of old times. The preservation of these structures receives a great deal of attention in the structuralengineering community. In this respect, current study focuses on historical Dilovası Sultan Suleyman (Diliskelesi) Bridge inKocaeli, Turkey. In order to investigate the structural behavior of the current form of the bridge, Modal and Response Spectrumanalyses were carried out utilizing finite element methods.
