The applications of bridge isolation bearings include but are not limited to the following aspects:
1. Earthquake protection: Isolation bearings can be used to reduce the impact of earthquakes on bridge structures and protect bridges from earthquake damage.
2. Structural protection: When an earthquake occurs, isolation bearings can reduce the transmission of seismic forces and protect the bridge structure from damage.
3. Improve the seismic performance of the bridge: The application of isolation bearings can improve the seismic performance of the bridge, allowing it to better maintain stability when an earthquake occurs.
In general, the application of bridge isolation bearings aims to improve the safety and stability of bridge structures when natural disasters such as earthquakes occur.
