Abstract:This paper investigated the effects of the duration, intensity, and magnitude of earthquakes in seismic retrofitting of RC bridges using seismic bearings. First, the seismic retrofit of an RC bridge using seismic bearings under the Tabas earthquake was investigated. Seismic bearings included elastomeric bearing (EB), lead rubber bearing (LRB), and friction pendulum bearing (FPB). In order to investigate the effects of this equipment, the condition of the deck with a rigid connection on the cap beams and abutme… Show more
