Advanced Models for Sliding Seismic Isolation and Applications for Typical Multi-Span Highway Bridges
The large number of bridge collapses that have occurred in recent earthquakes has exposed the vulnerabilities in existing bridges. One of the emerging tools for protecting bridges from the damaging effects of earthquakes is the use of isolation systems. Seismic isolation is achieved via inserting fl...
