This invention belongs to the field of seismic
design technology for railway bridges, and relates to a
seismic analysis method for railway bridges using a variable
friction coefficient friction
pendulum bearing for
seismic isolation and vibration reduction. This method is used to determine the design displacement D of the variable
friction coefficient friction
pendulum bearing; specifically, it includes the following steps: establishing an equivalent period T based on the design parameters of the variable
friction coefficient friction
pendulum bearing. eff The relationship between the
coefficient of friction and the variable friction coefficient; based on the bridge design conditions, the relationship between the equivalent period and the acceleration
response spectrum value is established, and S(T) is obtained. eff Determine the damping adjustment coefficient η; equivalent
damping ratio ξ; establish support displacement and equivalent period T. eff S(T) eff By considering the relationship between η and η, and combining it with Newton's
iteration process, the final support displacement D is determined. This invention saves time by using
analytical expressions for calculation, avoiding tedious modeling, long computation times, and convergence issues compared to the finite
element model nonlinear
time history analysis method. This allows for rapid evaluation of the seismic performance of different support parameters and structural configurations during the scheme design, parameter optimization, and preliminary design stages.
