Crashworthiness design of GFRP bar reinforced concrete bridge pier subjected to truck collision
This study investigates the failure behavior and post-impact damage of glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bar reinforced bridge pier under truck collision. The finite element model of a benchmark bridge with its pier reinforced with GFRP bars collided

Transient response of bridge piers under eccentric impact of near-fault earthquake
To study the influence of near-fault earthquake on pier failure, establish a double-span continuous girder bridge. The seismic response of the bridge is calculated using the transient wave function expansion method and the indirect mode function ...

Centrifuge modeling of rocking-isolated inelastic RC bridge piers [PDF]
Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations and thereby to dramatically improve the seismic resilience of structures.

Seismic Performance of Steel Box Bridge Piers with Earthquake-Resilient Function
A novel steel box bridge pier with replaceable energy dissipation wall plates at the base was proposed. After moderate earthquakes, the damaged energy dissipation wall plates and constraining steel plates on the two sides could be rapidly replaced, while

Bridge Failure Prevention: An Overview of Self-Protected Pier as Flow Altering Countermeasures for Scour Protection [PDF]
The inherent scour process around the bridge piers needs to be considered and crucial to ensure a sustainable and economical bridge design. The performance of any scour protection/controlling devices around bridge piers is determined on how each device ...

Performance of a Damage Protected Highway Bridge Pier Subjected to Bidirectional Earthquake Attack [PDF]
Recent earthquakes such as Loma Prieta, Northridge, and Kobe have demonstrated a need for a new design philosophy of bridge piers that avoids damage in order to ensure post-earthquake serviceability and reduce financial loss.

Kinematic Response of Bridge Piers
AbstractThis paper deals with the soil-structure interaction that occurs in deep foundations of bridge piers in seismic areas. In particular, the kinematic response of rigid caisson foundations under the passage of obliquely incident polarized shear waves is highlighted and discussed. A Winkler model with translational and rotational impedances is used
