AI Technical Summary
Existing friction pendulum seismic isolation bearings are insufficient in resisting progressive collapse under extreme working conditions, and existing improvement schemes are complex, costly, or have poor reliability.
A seismic isolation bearing with anti-vertical progressive collapse capability was designed. By setting a combination of shear keys and vertical springs inside the bearing, the horizontal stiffness is improved by the shear keys being sheared off under extreme conditions, and the vertical springs provide vertical support to avoid overall structural instability.
While maintaining horizontal seismic isolation performance, it effectively improves the resistance to progressive collapse, ensures that the triggering mechanism is simple and reliable, and avoids overall structural instability and progressive collapse.
