The invention discloses a non-prestress self-resetting energy dissipation supporting device provided with a variable friction damper. The non-prestress self-resetting energy dissipation supporting device comprises the variable friction damper, an inner sleeve pipe, a plurality of pre-pull rods arranged in the inner sleeve pipe and an outer sleeve pipe arranged outside the inner sleeve pipe, wherein the variable friction damper comprises an upper friction plate, a middle friction plate and a lower friction plate which are sequentially connected, the contact surface of the upper friction plate and the middle friction plate is an embedded zigzag undulating slope surface, the middle friction plate is connected with the inner sleeve pipe, and the lower friction plate is connected with the outersleeve pipe. The energy dissipation device can dissipate energy under the earthquake action, reduce the interlayer displacement angle and acceleration of a building structure, eliminate or reduce residual deformation and damage of a reinforced concrete frame structure under the earthquake action, effectively avoid obvious plastic deformation of a main body structural member, and meanwhile, due tothe fact that the energy dissipation device is convenient to disassemble and assemble, friction energy consumption devices playing a role in dissipating energy are all in an elastic stage, and the repair cost and difficulty of the structure after an earthquake can be obviously reduced.
