Description of a Composed Seismic Isolation System for Bridge Structures
Journal Title: Analele Universitatii "Eftimie Murgu" Resita. Fascicula de Inginerie - Year 2015, Vol 22, Issue 2
Abstract
From the design stage of a specific structural project, achieving a high level of safety is desired for structures, necessary to withstand dynamic actions that could have destructive effects on the resistant structure. In order to obtain the optimum level of safety against dynamic actions different types of isolation systems are placed into the structural system. The most commonly isolation method used is the base isolation method through which a disconnection between foundation and superstructure can be achieved. The isolation method presented uses special mechanical systems which are able to consume an amount from dynamic actions energy through their action. This study presents a base isolation method for building structures along with an overview of the different system solutions used to achieve the desired objective: ensuring a high level of safety for a bridge or viaduct structural type during a seismic event.
