Cable-Sliding Friction Aseismic Bearing:
The new-type bearing which is composed of the
pot bearing, some cables and a shear bolt.
Close Twin-Column Pier System: a pier
system made up of two symmetrical adjoining
parts (right and left part) which are half of the
solid single-column pier divided along the verti-
cal mid-plane.
Elastic Cable Seismic Mitigation and Isola-
tion Device: The elastic cables equipped between
the tower and the girder which can adjust the
stiffness distribution of the cable-stayed bridges.
Local Seismic Capacity Design: A seismic
design method which focuses on increasing the
seismic capacities of components or local elements
of a whole bridge in a nonlinear state.
Overall Conceptual Seismic Design: A con-
ceptual seismic design method which focuses on
the optimal design of whole structural system in
a linear and elastic state to make the structure's
dynamic characteristics adapt to the site conditions
and achieve more uniform and rational seismic
demands of structural components.
Pile Group Foundation Strengthened with
SPPs: The pile group foundation whose piles are
strengthened with the outer steel protective pipes
in the whole pile or in local regions.
Spatial Tower: The tower model which is
composed of four single columns in space to
replace the inverted Y shape tower in plane.
Steel-Concrete Composite Bridge: The
bridge whose girder is composed of structural
steel and reinforced concrete.
