| Abstract: |
The growing need for safer bridges and structures is stimulating the concept of adapting smarter techniques in bearing supports, reducing seismic risk and structural costs. Advanced isolation devices offer engineers with various options. An appropriate solution includes systems that provide desired flexibility, damping, and re-centering properties. Various projects of national importance are already implementing such smarter techniques, thereby laying the foundation of sustainable infrastructure. Performance evaluation in simulated service and seismic conditions is of immense importance. Set up to support and supplement such demanding testing needs is now available in India already backing the projects as and when required. |
