The　seismic　performance　of　an　innovative　lightweight　bridge　with　CFST　composite　truss　girder　and　lattice　pier　was　studied　in　this　paper.　Took　Ganhaizi　Bridge　as　prototype,　a　1:8　scale　specimen　with　two　spans　and　three　lattice　high　piers　was　designed　for　multi-shaking　tables　test.　Adopted　design　seismic　wave　of　prototype,　dynamic　characteristics,　seismic　performance　and　failure　characteristics　were　analyzed.　Results　indicate　that　the　frequency　ratio　and　the　displacement　ratio　between　specimen　and　prototype　are　corresponding　to　similitude　relationship.　Under　transverse　or　longitudinal　excitation,　acceleration　in　lattice　zones　significantly　amplifies,　and　decreases　the　acceleration　of　the　deck.　It　is　unnecessary　to　consider　the　influence　of　bi-directional　excitations.　Displacement　on　the　top　of　pier　is　less　than　the　value　limitation　under　design　ground　motions.　The　corresponding　finite　element　simulations,　using　OpenSees,　were　carried　out　and　the　accuracy　was　verified.　The　finite　element　analysis　results　agree　with　experimental　data.　In　addition,　the　plastic　hinges　were　predicted　under　transverse　and　longitudinal　excitation　respectively,　revealed　that　lightweight　bridge　with　CFST　composite　truss　girder　and　lattice　pier　has　a　favorable　seismic　performance.　(C)　2014　Elsevier　Ltd.　All　rights　reserved.
