Decoupling of Bridge’s Super Structure for Seismic Isolation
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2009, Vol 6, Issue 2
Abstract
Of the old time’s the world was interested in crossing various obstacles arising in the way, course of water, valleys, such bridges have appeared, real works of art engineering. Bridges are made of wood, masonry, concrete, metal, string, etc., with the passage of time they have become increasingly large and high. Because of security needs during the seismic movements it was necessary to decoupling the superstructure (deck) from infrastructure (towers) with seismic isolation systems.
