Abstract

Isolation bearings are now being used on a regular basis by engineers trying to reduce the impact of seismic forces on bridges. While many of the early isolators were the elastomeric type, bridge engineers are finding that sliding systems offer more versatility at a lower cost and have much higher damping capabilities. Steel plate girder bridges are excellent candidates for using sliding isolation bearings.
