✦ Synopsis

An experimental study of a seismically isolated and a comparable non-isolated bridge is presented. The bridge model featured flexible piers, weighed 158 k N and was tested on a shake table with an array of real and simulated seismic motions with peak acceleration in the range 0.1-ldy. When isolated, the bridge deck was supported by four spherically shaped sliding bearings (known as Friction Pendulum System or FPS bearings) with friction coefficient under dynamic conditions in the range 0.07-0.12. The experimental results demonstrated a substantial improvement in the ability of the isolated bridge to sustain all levels of seismic excitation under elastic conditions.

## Abstract In this paper, the efficiency of providing elastic‐gap devices (EGDs) to improve the performance of seismic‐isolated bridges (SIBs) in near‐fault (NF) zones is investigated. The device is primarily made of an assembly of circular rubber bearings and steel plates to provide additional el
