Tests on a New Vibration Isolation Module

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a new isolation module, which is composed of double-layer tubular structures and the middle filling material. The hoop vibration isolation module is set somewhere out of pier footings of the footbridge, which presents some advantages such as good reliability, convenient construction, limited occupation areas, little damage to the environment and low cost. The energy of the vibration wave is confined at the most degree outside of the bridge pier, which reduces the vibration of beams and piers of footbridge. The present work gives an account of the experimental investigation on mitigation effects of the new vibration isolation module. The horizontal and vertical accelerations at test points under various working conditions were presented in this paper. Vibration levels were calculated to analyze the regularity of vibration attenuation, compared with no measures of vibration isolation. The results can provide some basic data for the mitigation of environment vibration arising from traffic loads.
