Examination of the creep behavior of historical buildings and interpretation of seismic failures in historical buildings are of great importance for the safety and future of these important structures. In this study, time-dependent settlement and three-dimensional (3D) seismic analyzes of a historical stone bridge are investigated using the 3D discrete element modeling technique. For the settlement and seismic analyses, the historical single-span Çüngüş bridge which was built in the 18th century in Diyarbakır-Turkey by Ottoman Empire is used. Since Diyarbakır is in a dangerous zone according to the Turkey seismic map, the examination of this structure is very critical for the history of Turkey. The 3D model of the bridge is created using the FLAC3D program based on the finite difference method and all the stone elements in the historical bridge are modeled separately as blocks. Special interaction elements are defined between the discretely modeled stones. For settlement creep analyses, the Burger-creep material model, which was not used for the creep behavior of historical buildings in the past, is utilized. Firstly, the 500-year long-term creep behavior of the bridge is examined by considering the fix boundary condition and full reservoir condition. According to the creep analyses, it is seen that the most deformation and failure section of the bridge is the arch section. Then, for the seismic analyses of the bridge, free-field and quiet non-reflecting boundary conditions are defined in the model. Furthermore, hysteresis damping coefficients are taken into account in seismic analyzes with the help of special fish functions. 10 various earthquakes are considered for seismic analyses. According to the earthquake analyses, the earthquake behavior of the Çüngüş historical bridge is assessed by considering the full reservoir condition and it is understood that 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Hatay, Malatya, Gaziantep earthquakes significantly changed the seismic safety behavior of Çüngüş single-span historical bridge.
