Basic Idea of Seismic Isolation
Isolate the bridge from ground motion by:
Inserting a flexible support system between the
super- and sub-structure (isolation bearings).
This will lengthen the natural period of the
bridge such that the inertia forces in the bridge
are significantly reduced.
Force reduction may be sufficient to keep
columns elastic.

Control the liveliness of the bridge (due to the


flexible bearings) using energy dissipators
(dampers) to limit the motion.
motion

14
Seismic Isolation: Key Point

Seismic isolation reduces the earthquake


demand on a bridge,
g rather than increases
its capacity.

In many cases the reduction in demand is


such that it may be feasible to have
substructures perform elastically.

Seismic Isolation: Key Point

Bridges that are most suitable for


isolation are
(a) located on stiff and medium-stiff soil
sites,
(b) have relatively stiff substructures

(c) continuous superstructures, and
(d) seat-type abutments.

Multimodal Spectral Method
Elastic Multimodal Method, developed for
conventional bridges, may be used for isolated
bridges even though they are nonlinear systems.

Modeling the nonlinear properties of the isolators


is usually done with equivalent linearized springs

additional damping
