To investigate the effects of fault crossing on the seismically isolated bridges, shake table testing was conducted on a 1/10 scaled two-span simply-supported bridge model isolated by lead rubber bearings (LRBs). A synthetic fault rupture, consisting of low- and high-frequency simulations, was used...
