Viscous　dampers　are　installed　on　a　lot　of　bridges　located　in　high-intensity　earthquake　fortification　zones　for　aseismic　control.　Their　design　and　arrangement　are　always　performed　according　to　dynamic　elastoplastic　theoretical　analysis　and　numerical　simulation　but　they　are　lack　of　verification　with　shaking　table　tests,　and　practical　engineering　examples　of　bridges　experiencing　the　test　of　earthquake　are　less.　Here,　porous　type　viscous　dampers　were　designed　and　manufactured,　and　their　hysteretic　curves　were　measured　through　cyclic　loading　tests.　Then　these　dampers　were　installed　on　a　continuous　girder　bridge　scale　model　to　conduct　shaking　table　tests　to　verify　the　bridge　aseismic　control　effect.　Test　results　showed　that　damping　forces　of　viscous　dampers　increase　with　increase　in　loading　frequency,　and　their　measured　hysteretic　curves　are　close　to　an　ellipse;　viscous　dampers　have　good　aseismic　control　effects　on　the　bridge＇s　fixed　pier　bottom　strain,　pier　top　displacement　and　longitudinal　displacement　of　movable　supports;　there　are　different　bridge　aseismic　rates　under　input　of　different　earthquake　waves,　the　maximum　bridge　aseismic　rate　can　reach　more　than　50%.　©　2018,　Editorial　Office　of　Journal　of　Vibration　and　Shock.　All　right　reserved.
