Influence of Bearing on Pier Failure Considering the Separation Condition under Near-Fault Earthquake

To study the influence of the near-fault vertical earthquake, the beam-spring-damper-pier model is used to simulate the double-span continuous beam bridge. The transient wave function expansion method and the indirect mode function method are used to calculate the seismic response of the bridge. The...

description To study the influence of the near-fault vertical earthquake, the beam-spring-damper-pier model is used to simulate the double-span continuous beam bridge. The transient wave function expansion method and the indirect mode function method are used to calculate the seismic response of the bridge. The theoretical solutions of the contact force and displacement response of the bridge under vertical earthquake excitation near-fault are derived. By using piers with three different heights, the influence of vertical separation on pier-bending failure is analyzed reasonably. The results show that under the near-fault earthquake action, the split has a certain influence on the pier failure. Moreover, the stiffness and damping of the bearing have an influence on the pier failure, and the change of the maximum pier height has different effects. Therefore, for bridges of different sizes, it is of great significance to select the appropriate stiffness and damping bearings to reduce pier failure.
