This utility model belongs to the field of
seismic isolation and vibration reduction technology for bridge structures, and specifically relates to a shear energy-dissipating steel truss connecting beam for replaceable railway piers. It includes several steel truss connecting beam units, spaced apart along the height of the
pier column. At the same height position, there are four steel truss connecting beam units, each positioned between adjacent
pier columns. Each steel truss connecting beam unit includes horizontally arranged upper and lower chords, and at least one set of intersecting
diagonal web members between the upper and lower chords. The chords are structural members designed to prevent
instability of the outer web members of the
pier column. The web members mainly bear axial forces and reduce seismic response by dissipating energy through tensile and
compressive deformation. This structure dissipates energy through plastic deformation and yielding, thereby protecting the pier column and achieving a graded energy dissipation effect. Furthermore, the steel truss connecting
beam system is easy to replace after damage, and the replaced pier can immediately resume normal use, playing an important role in post-earthquake repair and operation of bridges.
