Abstract

The friction pendulum bearing (FPB) has been widely studied as an effective dry friction sliding isolation device, due to its self-limit and self-reset capability. The refinement finite element models of FPB were applied to column supporting single-layer reticulated domes. The seismic performances of these structures with FPBs were systematically analyzed by finite element software LS-DYNA. Numerical results illustrate that the optimal friction coefficient of FPB increases with increasing earthquake intensity and the optimal range of friction coefficient locates between 0.025 and 0.15. The seismic effects of single-layer reticulated domes with FPBs are strengthened with the increase of curvature radius, while isolation effect of FPBs has no obvious change as the curvature radius exceeds 1.5 m. Additionally, the parameter selection principles of friction pendulum bearings for column supporting single-layer reticulated domes are given by means of investigating the force of the slider of FPBs and dynamic analysis of single-layer reticulated domes with FPBs.
