To simulate the pier-beam separation condition caused by near-fault vertical earthquake excitation, when the vertical relative displacement of the middle of the main beam and the top of the pier is greater than the support height ∆Z and shows an increasing trend, it means that the main beam and the pier are separated in the vertical direction.
