Seismic bridge bearings play a key role in ensuring the safety and durability of bridges during earthquakes. These bearings are designed to absorb the energy of seismic waves, reduce the forces transmitted to the bridge superstructure, and protect it from damage.

High damping rubber bearings (HDRB) are a type of structural component used in the construction of buildings and other structures. These bearings are designed to provide a high degree of damping, or resistance to vibration and movement, in order to improve the overall stability and safety of the structure.

Simply supported beam bridges and continuous beam bridges are two common types of bridges that are distinguished by the way in which the beam is supported.

A simply supported beam bridge is a type of bridge that consists of a horizontal beam supported on two or more end points, called bearings. These bearings play a crucial role in the overall functioning and stability of the bridge.
