ABSTRACT
Experimental Menshin designs were carried out to determine whether they could be applied to seismic retrofitting of existing highway bridge substructures. Lead rubber bearings (LRB) were used as Menshin devices in these experimental designs to reduce the seismic loads acting on the substructures through their high damping rates and through dispersion of the seismic lateral loads by modifying the existing structural system into a multi-point elastic support system. And their effectiveness in seismically retrofitting the substructure was confirmed.(AU)
