In this study, the place and importance of the effects of geological conditions in Turkey are investigated and the solutions tried to be proposed. For example, marginal stability and short stand-up time with a tendency can obviously be dangerous 1 if anticipated and planned for, the danger A bridge may be defined as a structure built over a river, a dry valley, low land or an estuary or any depressed part of the land to provide a link between the two opposite sides.
