Abstract:

Displacement restrainer, restraints transverse movement of the superstructure of the isolated bridges, is adopted to protect expansion joints from damage during earthquake. Here to mitigate damage of bridge pier and/or its foundation and to enhance redundancy of the isolated viaducts in a strong earthquake, it can be considered that the displacement of the superstructure against a small and moderate earthquake is restraint and the displacement against a strong earthquake is freed to shift to isolated condition. Knock-off members will provide these responses of the vibration system.

This study presents the outline of some of displacement restrainers having the knock-off function and reveals the effectiveness of the knock-off in the isolated bridge system through dynamic loading test using small-size shaking table. It is also analytically verified the influences of the breaking characteristics on seismic response of the system.
