SEISMIC DESIGN OF BRIDGES AGAINST NEAR-FAULT GROUND MOTIONS USING COMBINED SEISMIC ISOLATION AND RESTRAINING SYSTEMS OF LRBS AND CDRS

Seismic Design of Bridges against Near-Fault Ground Motions Using Combined Seismic Isolation and Restraining Systems of LRBs and CDRs

This paper focuses on the seismic isolation design of near-fault bridges under the seismic excitations of near-fault ground motions in high-intensity earthquake zones and proposes a combined control system using lead rubber bearings (LRBs) and cable displacement restrainers (CDRs) along with ductility seismic resistance for the reinforced concrete
