The invention relates to a method for meeting different requirements for multi-directional displacement of a bridge pier beam under strong shock and normal operation accidental action, and a multi-directional limiting and torsion-resisting system installed in the joint of the pier beam. A device is composed of an upper anchor plate, a lower anchor plate, springs, slide blocks, a dragline and corresponding anchor bolts. Transverse free movement is achieved through the initial slack quantity of the dragline; and longitudinal movement is achieved through a free path of the upper anchor plate. When the relative displacement of the pier beam exceeds the initial slack quantity in a corresponding direction, the dragline is tensioned and begins to take an effect, the further relative displacement of the pier beam is limited, and seismic damages including impact, beam falling and the like are avoided accordingly; and buffering and self-resetting of a post-earthquake structure can be achieved through the springs. The multi-directional limiting and torsion-resisting system can be installed in a straight bridge, and can also be suitable for a curved skew bridge. The device not only can take an effect under the action of strong shock and prevent the seismic damages including impact, beam falling and the like, but also can limit side inclination of a beam body through pulling resistance under the normal operation accidental action (unbalance loading) and prevent structural collapse accidents caused by the side inclination of the beam body.
