Abstract:
In order to investigate the nonlinear seismic responses of isolated bridges with lead rubber bearings (LRB) under multi-directional horizontal earthquake excitation, Bouc-Wen model of LRB under two horizontal orthogonal directional excitation is adopted. Based on this model of LRB, an analytical model of nonlinear seismic responses of a continuous multi-span isolated bridge with LRB and its solving method are carried out. The multi-degrees-of-freedom mathematical model of the seismically isolated bridge is proved to be right and the bi-directional coupled Park model of LRB is proved to be reasonable by the shaking table tests of the continuous girder isolated bridges model with LRB. It should consider the bi-directional coupled interaction of the restoring forces of LRB, which has considerable effects on the seismic responses of the isolated bridge. Vertical tension of LRB should be considered if vertical earthquake amplitude is greater in isolator design.
