Abstract

Bridges are the most important structures of the transportation system. Past earthquake shows that skew
bridges are more vulnerable to the ground motions as compared to non skew bridges. A few studies have been carried
out regarding responses of skew bridges. The present study focuses on evaluating the performance of The Triple Friction
Pendulum System (TFPS)-isolated skew bridges under the near-fault ground motions. TFPS is an adaption of single
concave friction pendulum system. Skew Bridges are designed at the interval of 10° from 0° to 50°. Responses of the
bridges are obtained in the direction along the length of the bridge with different near-fault ground motions. The result
shows that TFPS decreases the effect of skew angle in isolated bridges as compared to non-isolated bridges
