Abstract

Residual displacements between the girder and piers were observed in previous strong earthquakes. These are caused by the limited re-centering capacity of sliding isolation bearings. With this concern, a spring re-centering device is proposed to improve the re-centering capacity of sliding isolation systems. The working mechanism is illustrated, and the force–deformation relationship of this device was investigated in theoretical, experimental, and finite element methods. An extra-dosed multi-pylon cable-stayed bridge was introduced to demonstrate the re-centering effect. The results show that this spring re-centering device could slightly mitigate the seismic forces and significantly mitigate the residual displacement between the girder and piers. After that, the parametric analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of critical parameters of re-centering bearings on seismic performances.
