Seismic isolation is a commonly used technique for protecting new and existing bridges. It usually consists of introducing isolation bearings between the superstructure and the substructures in order to decouple their motion and reduce the force demand due to the earthquake action. This paper deals
In this paper, a performance-based seismic design procedure, which is directly associated with pre-quantified performance criteria, is presented by employing a displacement-based approach. A lower bound of yielding displacement of the structure to satisfy these performance criteria is proposed. The
