Abstract

The reflection of isolation bearings mechanical model on structure under exceeding design severe earthquake excitation is widely concerned after East Japan earthquake. An analytical nonlinear hardening model for leading rubber bearings (LRB) in the condition of large deformation, which is based on bilinear model, is proposed. The descending of yielding stiffness after hardening and the influence of vertical load on unloading curve are both considered in the model. To confirm the validity of the model, analyses are performed for actual static loading tests of leading rubber bearings by two control groups. The correlation between yielding stiffness and history of maximum deformation is also developed in the tests. Analyses with the new model are conducted to demonstrate the seismic response on base-isolated nuclear power plants in the condition of isolation bearings at large shear deformations. Study indicates that the shear force and acceleration of nuclear power plants structure predicted by new model are magnified compared with the ones of bilinear model. It also shows that the isolation effect will decline under severe earthquake.
