A　seismic　mitigation　control　technology　involving　arc　groove　roller　bearings　(AGRB)　for　shallow　buried　underground　frame　structures　is　proposed　for　reducing　the　horizontal　deformation　of　the　central　column.　Firstly,　the　working　mechanism　of　AGRB　component　is　described　and　its　mechanical　properties　are　analyzed　through　pseudo-static　analysis.　The　results　show　that　AGRB　offers　good　vertical　bearing　capacity　and　horizontal　deformation　performance.　Secondly,　the　finite　element　models　of　the　soil-structure　system　for　subway　stations　with　and　without　AGRB　are　established　for　implementing　the　nonlinear　dynamic　time-history　analysis.　Compared　with　the　observed　response　of　the　structures　without　AGRB,　the　horizontal　deformation,　shear　force　and　bending　moment　of　the　central　column　fitted　with　AGRB　are　greatly　reduced　and　the　maximum　seismic　mitigation　rate　is　above　80%.　In　addition,　the　results　demonstrated　that　utilizing　AGRB　could　greatly　reduce　the　plastic　damage　area　and　damage　degree　of　the　supporting　column,　and　avoid　the　occurrence　of　plastic　hinges　and　shear　failure　due　to　insufficient　lateral　deformation　resistance　of　the　central　column　under　high　axial　compression.　Thus　the　AGRB　can　be　used　as　an　effective　design　scheme　to　achieve　seismic　mitigation　control　for　underground　structures.
