Based　on　the　failure　mode　and　damage　mechanism　of　the　Daikai　subway　station　during　Kobe　earthquake,　this　paper　proposes　a　new　seismic　mitigation　structure.　The　friction　pendulum　bearing　is　installed　at　the　top　of　the　central　columns,　using　the　seismic　isolation　and　mitigation　design　concept　of　surface　structures.　The　2D　finite　element　models　of　soil-structure　are　analyzed,　and　then　the　seismic　response　of　the　original　and　proposed　structure　in　different　slide　way　radius　and　friction　coefficient　are　compared　by　dynamic　time　history　analysis　method.　The　comparison　results　show　that　the　new　structure　with　friction　pendulum　bearing　is　softer　than　the　original　structure,　resulting　in　a　larger　relative　horizontal　deformation.　The　deformation,　shear　forces　and　moments　of　the　central　columns　are　significantly　reduced,　when　the　slide　way　radius　is　large　and　the　friction　coefficient　is　small.　©　2019,　Engineering　Mechanics　Press.　All　right　reserved.
