Abstract A parametric study is conducted to investigate the effect of lead rubber bearing (LRB) isolator and ground motion characteristics on the response of seismic isolated bridges. The purpose was to investigate the most favorable parameters of the LRB for minimum earthquake response of the isolated bridge system for different ground motions. The important parameters included are: ground motion characteristic by considering peak ground acceleration to peak ground velocity, PGA/PGV ratio as damage index; characteristic strength, Q d of the LRB isolator normalized by the weight acting on the isolator; flexibility of isolator by varying post yield time period, T d ; and yield stiffness to post yield stiffness, K u /K d ratio. The performance of seismic isolated bridge is measured by the variation of maximum isolator displacement (MID), maximum isolator force (MIF), deck acceleration and pier base shear. For a specified ground motion, smaller MID and MIF are regarded as indicator of better seismic performance. It is found that there exists a particular value of Q d /W, T d and K u /K d for which the MID, MIF, deck acceleration and pier base shear attain the minimum values. Finally the recommendations are made which are useful for the design engineers at the preliminary seismic isolation design of the bridges with LRB isolator for the ground motion having different characteristics.
