Development of a Kind of Multi-Defense Seismic Spherical Bearing

Article Preview

Abstract:

For continuous girder bridges, each bearing has different function requirements under normal traffic conditions and under earthquakes of different intensity levels. To meet the requirements of the three-level seismic design for continuous girder bridges presented in this paper, a new kind of multi-defense seismic spherical bearing is developed and its configuration and working mechanism are introduced in this paper. Then the results of mechanical properties test of the bearing are presented and it’s shown that the design requirements are all satisfied and the seismic performance of the bearing is effective and reliable.
