Abstract: The performance of concrete shear keys as restraining devices for laminated rubber bearing–supported highway bridges was
examined in past earthquakes such as the 1999 Chi-Chi and the 2008 Wenchuan earthquakes, where the widely observed shear key failure and
bearing sliding significantly increased the risk of span unseating. To avoid such scenarios, economical yielding steel dampers are proposed to
replace conventional shear keys as restraining devices on bridges. If designed properly, the steel dampers are expected to control bearing
displacement within limit without imposing much additional demand on the substructure. The primary objective of this study was to develop a
simplified procedure for designing the yielding steel dampers to control sliding displacement of the laminated rubber bearings to a specified
value for the considered earthquake hazard. By treating the global bridge system as a serial-parallel combination of different components, the
correlations of various parameters were investigated. On that basis, a simple formulation was developed, followed by a series of nonlinear time
history analyses and a shake table test as verifications. The outcome of this study highlights the cost-effectiveness of using yielding steel
dampers and laminated rubber bearings as an earthquake-resistant system for highway bridges compared with other popular isolation systems.
The proposed design procedure was also verified to be quite efficient in properly designing the yielding steel dampers for a satisfactory bridge

This study utilizes large-scale shake table test to investigate the seismic performance of an isolated bridge with lead rubber bearings crossing an active fault. Two transverse restraining systems with and without shear keys are tested by applying spatially varying ground motions. It is shown that the near-fault span exhibits larger bearing displacement than the crossing-fault span. Bridge piers away from the fault rupture are more vulnerable than those adjacent to the fault rupture by attracting more seismic demand. It is also verified that the shear keys are effective in restraining the bearing displacement on the near-fault span, particularly under the large permanent ground displacement.
