The behavior of these systems is analyzed by employing a two-degree-of-freedom model, whereas the FPS response is described by means of a velocity-dependent model. The uncertainty in the seismic inputs is taken into account by considering artificial seismic excitations modelled as timemodulated filtered Gaussian white noise random processes of different intensity within the power spectral density method. In particular, the filter parameters, which control the frequency content of the random excitations, are calibrated to describe stiff, medium and soft soil conditions. The sliding friction coefficient at large velocity is also considered as a random variable modelled through a uniform probability density function. Incremental dynamic analyses are developed in order to evaluate the probabilities of exceeding different limit states related to both the reinforced concrete（RC） superstructure and isolation level, defining the seismic fragility curves within an extensive parametric study carried out for different structural system properties and soil conditions. The abovementioned seismic fragility curves are useful to evaluate the seismic reliability of base-isolated elastic systems equipped with FPS and located in any site for any soil condition.展开更多

For commonly used isolation bearings with a pure friction sliding surface, seismic forces may be reduced but displacements are often unconstrained. In this paper, an alternative seismic bearing system, called the cable-sliding friction bearing system, is developed by integrating seismic isolation devices with displacement restrainers consisting of cables attached to the upper and lower plates of the bearing. Restoring forces are provided to limit the displacements of the sliding component. Design parameters including the length and stiffness of the cables, friction coefficient, strength of the shear bolt in a fixed-type bearing, and movements under earthquake excitations are discussed. Laboratory testing of a prototype bearing subjected to vertical loads and quasi-static cyclic lateral loads, and corresponding numerical finite element simulation analysis, were carried out. It is shown that the numerical simulation shows good agreement with the experimental force-displacement hysteretic response, indicating the viability of the new bearing system. In addition, practical application of this bearing system to a multi-span bridge in China and its design advantages are discussed.展开更多

The experi-mental results show that, the combing effect of pin drumis better than that of garnett; the combing length is a im-portant factor. The form and dimension of the conduct-ing tube influence the rate of fiber straightness and thedegree of fiber orientation. The little angle between theconducting tube and drum axis is good for fiber parallel-ism and straightness. The frictional ratio and the rate ofair flow influence the efficiency of twist.展开更多

Based on this system, the harmonic and subharmonic periodic response of S-LF subjected to harmonic motions is investigated by using Fourier-Galerkin-Newton (FGN) method with Flo-quet theory. The dynamic response of S-LF subjected to earthquake ground motions is calculated with a high order precision direct integration method, and the numerical results are presented in maximum acceleration response spectra of superstructure and maximum sliding displacement response spectrum form. The comparison of isolating effects of S-LF, pure-friction base isolation system (P-F) and resilient-friction base isolation system (R-FBI) shows that the isolating property of S-LF is superior to those of P-F and R-FBI. Finally, by analyzing an engineering example, it is observed that the distribution of the maximum shear between floors and absolute acceleration of S-LF to earthquake ground motion is very different from that of traditional structures.展开更多
