Abstract
The sliding effect of isolation bearings has been proven to effectively mitigate the seismic effects on large-span bridges. However, it also results in excessive relative displacement between the main girder and piers during earthquakes. In this study, a pioneering Squeezing Rub-type Particle Damper (SRPD) is developed to address this issue. In order to verify the damping characteristics of SRPDs and investigate the working principle of squeezing friction energy dissipation, five quasi-static tests were conducted on SRPDs using two particle damping materials with different compactness levels. In order to compare the energy dissipation performance, comparative tests were conducted on Non-Squeezing-type Particle Dampers (NSPDs) and SRPDs. Utilizing regression analysis, two skeletal curve models for SRPDs were proposed, alongside a detailed restoring force model that incorporates considerations for both the pinching effect and stiffness degradation phenomena observed during the loading and unloading phases. The experimental results demonstrate that the maximum damping force of SRPDs can reach 16 times that of NSPDs, and the energy dissipation of each loading cycle can reach 21.06 times that of NSPDs. SRPDs exhibits improved energy dissipation performance when using high-density blended quartz sand. After sand replenishment repairs,damping force and energy dissipation per cycle of SRPDs were significantly enhanced. The proposed restoring force models of SRPDs aligns well with the experimental curves, underscoring its efficacy in accurately characterizing the hysteresis performance of SRPDs.
