Combination of thermal and seismic displacements for the design of base isolation systems of bridges in Canada
Base isolation systems are commonly used in the design of new bridges, and in the retrofit of existing ones. However, in Canada, base isolators are relatively new. They act as bridge bearings and isolate or decouple the superstructure from the underlying substructure to reduce the force generated in...
