**6. Conclusion**

In this study, St-Id concept is identified with implementation of the real suspension bridge, the Bosphorus Bridge. Each step of the concept from visualization to utilization is aimed to carry out for the bridge considering the strong wind event SHM data. The FEM calibration of the bridge is also made according to the outcomes from the experimental data analysis. Reliably established and calibrated FEM of the bridge is then adopted for the last step of St-Id approach, utilization/interpretation/decision-making. For this purpose, the multi-point earthquake analysis (Mp-sup) of the bridge is conducted. Based on the consequences of the study, the following important points are concluded;


Based on the consequences obtained from this study, St-Id approach is shown to be a robust technique for overall assessment of long-span bridges. Apart from the implementation of the all steps of St-Id, each step also gives important results, which means that the concept can be divided into certain groups according to the aim of the study. Therefore, St-Id approach is recommended to be considered for performance prediction and structural condition evaluation of long-span cable-supported bridges.
