…Seismically Isolated Bridge Structures…
o Application of elements for isolation and absorption of seismic energy in bridge structures is economically justified.
o Design of isolation and seismic energy absorption elements can be successful and verified based on direct dynamic analyses performed for each concrete case
o By use of typified elements for isolation and control of vibrations, practical design is simplified and based on selection of optimal elements for each concrete case.

Problems related to design of new structures
The institute can be involved in the phase of design of new bridge structures as performer of design, particularly contributing to harmonization of the technical documentation with the new standards (Euro codes).
The Institute can also be involved in the phase of design as a reviewer, in which way it will cooperate with other design engineers contributing to their involvement in application of the Euro codes.
