Abstract:The hyperboloid spherical seismic isolation bearing is a new type of seismic isolation bearing developed in China, and now is widely used in the seismic design of long-span continuous girder bridge in high intensity areas. The friction coefficient μ of the sliding sphere of this bearing, the distance H between the center of the sphere and the horizontal ultimate bearing capacity Fu of fixed bearing are three important parameters influencing the seismic performance. The above three bearing parameters are studied deeply to obtain the variation rules of seismic performance and three design parameters of the bridge, which provides the guidance for the seismic design of bridges with the hyperboloid spherical seismic isolation bearings.
