The invention discloses a bridge pier VSR (vibration stress relief) method for a steel structural bridge and relates to the technical field of stress relief treatment of steel structure parts. A bridge pier of the steel structural bridge is a high-rigidity and heavy large structural part, and stress relief treatment is difficult to perform with existing thermal stress relief, natural stress relief, ultrasonic impact stress relief and VSR methods. According to the method, the bridge pier is supported by a support pad, multiple sets of VSR equipment are used, multiple vibration exciters are adjacently fixed on a lower frame beam of the bridge pier, multiple vibration testers are adjacently fixed on an upper frame beam of the bridge pier, then, multiple vibration exciters are controlled by use of multiple controllers, co-frequency sub-resonance vibration is performed on multiple resonance peaks of the bridge pier for several hours, the purpose of effectively relieving the residual stressis achieved, the average relief rate of the residual stress reaches 43%, the problem of difficulty in relieving the residual stress of the bridge pier is solved, and the method can be applied to steelstructural bridges.
