Effectiveness of Rubber Isolators for the Seismic Retrofitting of a Peruvian Highway Concrete Bridge
Conference Paper
Full-text available
  • Nov 2017
This paper investigates the effectiveness of rubber isolators for retrofitting highway concrete bridges. The Huamani Bridge is analysed as a case study. Located on the central coast of Peru, this bridge was constructed around 1950 with obsolete seismic provisions, using fixed steel bearings. It suffered from severe damage during the 2007 Pisco Eart...
