Focusing　on　a　small　radius　curved　bridge,　a　serious　of　shaking　table　tests　and　corresponding　numerical　finite　element　analyses　were　conducted　for　a　1/16　scaled　curved　bridge　model　considering　SSI　(Soil-Structure　Interaction)　effect.　In　the　testing　and　simulating,　the　strong　motion　records　with　different　frequency　characteristics　and　durations,　El　Centro　record　from　Ms6.7　Imperial　Valley　earthquake　and　Wolong　record　from　Ms8.0　Wenchuan　earthquake,　were　as　the　input　motions.　The　dynamic　property,　vibration　response,　damage　rule,　and　failure　mode　of　the　curved　bridge　were　obtained　preliminarily.　The　experimental　results　showed　that　the　transverse　stiffness　of　this　soil-pile-bridge　structure　system　was　larger　than　the　longitudinal　stiffness;　the　obvious　torsion　effect　of　the　model　structure　was　observed　in　the　tests　under　the　input　motion　in　uni-direction,　and　the　larger　was　the　input　motion　PGA,　more　obvious　was　the　torsion　effect;　the　seismic　responses　were　more　sensitive　to　input　motions　with　relative　low-frequency　components;　the　damage　degree　of　the　pier　bottom　increased　from　short　to　high　pier,　and　the　rubber　bearings　at　side　piers　appeared　two　different　failure　modes　induced　by　the　longitudinal　slope.　Compared　with　straight　bridges,　the　curvature　radius　made　curved　bridges　more　prone　to　causing　rotation　and　displacement.　Furthermore,　finite　element　analyses　were　conducted　by　using　the　plastic-damage　model　for　concrete,　and　equivalent　soil　springs　method　for　pile-soil　interaction,　respectively.　The　simulations　were　in　agreement　with　the　test　results　satisfactorily,　moreover　the　differences　between　these　results　were　discussed　in　detail　and　the　errors　were　in　an　acceptable　range.　These　studies　would　be　used　to　provide　insights　for　the　further　research　and　theoretical　design　of　curves　bridges.
