Development and Mechanical Performance of a New Kind of Bridge Seismic Isolator for Low Seismic Regions
The concept of fibre-reinforced plate elastomeric isolator (FRPEI) is introduced firstly in this paper. Three FRPEI specimens have been constructed to evaluate the mechanical performance of the isolators by performing vertical and horizontal tests. The research focuses on the compression stiffness,...
