Abstract
This paper introduces the seismic isolation technology for highway bridges in Japan. Systematic application of seismic isolation was initiated in early 1990s. In particular it was accelerated after the 1995 Kobe earthquake. Guidelines and design specifications for seismic isolation are introduced. Typical implementation of seismic isolation to highway bridges are also presented.
