This paper is examined that seismic effects can be reduced by using laminated rubber bearings as bearings under the bridge when an earthquake occurs.
The laminated rubber bearings can reduce seismic force from piers to a superstructure. The seismic responses of isolated bridges by the laminated rubber bearing are compared with those of a bridge using conventional pot bearings.
The result of this study show that using laminated rubber bearings is more effective in reducing the magnitude of forces transferred to the substructure of birdge by an earthquake.
A structure analysis program for this experiment study is used SAP 90.
