Earthquake may cause great damage to bridge structure, damage and even collapse of bridge. The seismic resistance of bridges has always been an important research direction in the field of bridges. This paper summarizes the research results and development trend of the seismic field of bridges in 2020, and the main conclusions are as follows: the seismic performance of the pier column after replacing ordinary concrete with new materials is explored; The shaking isolation pier has good seismic performance through shaking table experiment and numerical simulation; The displacement ductility and residual displacement of the pier can be improved by using the carbon fiber cloth sheath to strengthen the pier column; The traditional single leg to double limb thin-walled high pier has better seismic performance, the hysteretic curve of the double limb thin-walled pier with high main reinforcement ratio is full, and the energy consumption performance is good, and the axial pressure ratio is improved significantly; The rectangular hollow double column high pier with energy dissipation beam has better energy consumption capacity, bearing capacity and displacement ductility; The system of vibration reduction with friction pendulum support and limit energy dissipation rod has good effect of reducing isolation, and the internal force damping rate can reach more than 20%; The reliability of using new type of unbonded steel mesh rubber support (USRB) instead of unbonded laminated rubber support (ULNR) in bridge is studied; The influence of near field vibration and soil structure interaction on the dynamic response of the bridge is investigated.
