Seismic performance assessment of an existing multispan bridge in eastern Canada retrofitted with fiber reinforced elastomeric isolator

A seismically resilient transportation network entails preprioritized retrofit plans for conventionally designed highway bridges. This is particularly important for the province of Ontario in Canada, where more than 44% of the multispan bridges have been constructed prior to 1970. To support future seismic risk mitigation efforts, this study evaluated the seismic performance of a multispan continuous reinforced concrete bridge in Ontario, …
