Abstract | Elastomeric bearings have long been employed in bridge structures and their response under horizontal loading action has been experimentally studied by applying – slow or real-time – displacement cycles to failure. The experimental study of the actual response of bridges on elastomeric bearings under earthquake action presents difficulties due to the required size of the test specimens and thus one resorts to substructuring methods. |
