About this document
Seismic Retrofitting of Highway Bridges by jospin katumbi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This case study assesses the seismic vulnerability and retrofitting design of the Tanaro and Bormida Bridges in Italy, highlighting challenges due to their pre-2008 design and structural complexities. A seismic isolation system using friction pendulum bearings was developed, demonstrating over 80% reduction in base shear force and effective control of seismic displacements. The study emphasizes the importance of seismic retrofitting for existing infrastructure to enhance safety against earthquakes.
