Typical small-to-medium-span highway bridges in China are usually equipped with
reinforced concrete shear keys in the transverse direction to provide lateral support for the …

Typical laminated rubber bearings are widely used in small to medium-span highway
bridges in China. These bearings are economical, and are proved to perform well at service …

Seismic base isolators are used extensively in buildings, bridges, and critical infrastructure.
During a seismic event, these isolators simultaneously experience the service loads and the …

One of the most significant damages for highway bridges during the 2008 Wenchuan
earthquake was the sliding of laminated-rubber bearings. The bearing sliding during the …

Normally, Laminated Rubber Bearing Pads (LRBPs) are directly placed between girders
and piers and their role is to provide the bridge span with horizontal movement, and to …

Steel-laminated elastomeric bearings are isolation devices which are used extensively in
buildings, bridges, nuclear power plants and other structures. Accurate modelling of the …

Damage investigation of small to medium-span highway bridges in Wenchuan earthquake
revealed that typical damage of these bridges included: sliding between laminated-rubber …

Typical small to medium-span highway bridges in China are commonly equipped with
laminated rubber bearings to accommodate superstructure movements from service-level …

This paper introduces a new integrated Horizontal Bidirectional Hybrid Damping System
(HBHDS) incorporating eddy current dampers, metallic yielding dampers, fuse-lock device …

To enhance the seismic resilience of bridges equipped with nonseismic laminated rubber
bearings, a novel seismic isolation system is proposed, leveraging hybrid bonded and …
