The work in seismic design of bridges is needed to develop physical models and mathematical theory, based on which will be assessed and quantified the dynamic response of bridge structures subjected to stress arising from road traffic or seismic activity.
The need for this modeling is imposed three requirements: to ensure the structural integrity of the bridge elements for subjected impulsive, proper choice of dynamic insulation elements placed as a interface between the superstructure and infrastructure, as well as analysis of effects on joints in these situations demand. This paper proposes a physical model of a general nature, enabling customization depending on the specific constructive bridge, or the way it is solicited. Customize this model was developed for this study based on the existing viaduct Transylvania highway located between km 29 +602.75 and km 29 +801.25.
