Application of Seismic Isolation Bearings in Philippine Bridge Construction
The Philippines comprises numerous islands, and bridges serve as critical transportation hubs connecting various regions. In earthquake-prone areas, the seismic performance of bridges is particularly important. The application of seismic isolation bearings in Philippine bridge construction is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
New Bridges:In newly constructed cross-sea bridges, urban overpasses, and other significant bridge projects in the Philippines, seismic isolation bearings have become standard. For example, the Cebu-Cordova Link Expressway Bridge, which opened in 2019, utilizes advanced lead rubber bearings to effectively enhance the bridge's seismic performance.
Bridge Reinforcement: For some older bridges, the Philippines is also actively adopting seismic isolation bearings for seismic reinforcement. By installing lead rubber bearings at the top of bridge piers, the seismic capacity of the bridges can be significantly improved, extending their service life.
