Abstract:

The bridges are an important transportation infrastructure. Transportation organizations are developing a keen interest in strengthening and maintaining the safety and resilience of bridge against earthquakes and other lateral loading. Earlier studies in the use of seismic isolation systems for bridges produced results that clearly state the benefits of seismic isolation in the horizontal direction. However, the vertical ground motions transmitted through the isolation system were observed to be unchanged or even magnified in a few cases. In response to this problem, this paper presents vertical deflection of the seismic isolation system for use in bridges.
