As the bridges are an integral part of the transportation network, their function as one of the most important vital arteries during an earthquake is fundamental. In a design point of view, the bridges piers, and in particular the wall piers, are considered as effective structural elements in the seismic response of bridge structures due to their cantilever performance. Owing to reduced seismic load during design procedure, the response of these structural components should be ductile. This ductile behavior has a direct and decisive correlation to the development of plastic hinge region at the base of the wall pier. Several international seismic design codes and guidelines have suggested special detailing to assure ductile response in this region. In this paper, the parameters which affect the length of plastic hinge region in the reinforced concrete bridge with wall piers were examined and the sensitivity of these parameters was evaluated on the length of the plastic hinge region. Sensitivity analysis was accomplished by independently variable parameters with one standard deviation away from their means. For this aim, the Monte Carlo simulation, tornado diagram analysis, and first order second moment method were used to determine the uncertainties associated with analysis parameters. The results showed that, among the considered design variables, the aspect ratio of the pier wall (length to width ratio) and axial load level were the most important design parameters in the plastic hinge region, while the yield strength of transverse reinforcements had the least effect on determining the length of this region.

Local scour is associate with particular local types of vortex around bridge piers. This paper is method of protection local scour for the existing Busan City subway 3 Line bridge piers and Gupo large bridge piers. In order to take design of protection of local scour this bridge piers, We calculate the local scour hole of depth , scour width, riprap construction , filter construction by formulas. We had experimental hydraulic model test for this bridge piers in order to take proof for the calculation of local scour. We knew that the vortex intensifies the local flow velocities and acts to erode sediment from the scour hole and transport it downstream. As the result of hydraulic model test, we could suggest three types method of protection local scour this bridges. We knew that FHWA HEC-18(Richardson et al. 2001: Modified CSU) Formula is useful to checking calculation as application of field. One is pier protection using the sheet piles and riprap, the others are pier protection using the riprap with filter and to make renew Wall-caisson. The best method of protection for the existing Busan City subway 3 Line bridge piers and Gupo large bridge piers is pier protection using the sheet piles and riprap.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the strength of piers subjected to earthquake ground motion. In particular, the piers of an unreinforced masonry wall under in-plane seismic loading are considered with emphasis. For this purpose, several pier strength equations in seismic rehailitation provisions such as UCBC, FEMA 178, FEMA 273, and FEMA 306 are compared. This strength equations in different provision are applied for calculating the strength of a pier in building. According to the results of this study, it is shown that the assessment procedure based on FEMA 178 overestimated pier strengths comparing to other provisions when all piers are in Rocking-controlled mode.

Landing pier is connect from onshore to offshore with bridge type that a coast structure. The sub-structure is consisted of vertical or batter pile and combined reinforced concrete slab. These days useful design method of quay wall of landing pier type for pile foundation analysis abide by approximate depth of pile supported method, "Harbor and port design criterion, 2005 The ministry of land transport and maritime affairs". The approximate depth of pile supported is calculated two kind of method that one is assume to below depth of 1/$\beta$ from assumed submarine surface and other is 1st fixpoint depth by Chang(1937)'s theory. By this paper, FEM dynamic analysis of 3-dimensions was achieved that it has compared pile fixed end modeling with elastic spring modeling base on winkler theory.

지진작용에 의한 교각의 파괴유형을 관찰한 결과와 교각의 내진성능실험 결과로서, 소성힌지구역의 철근상세가 교각의 내진성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다는 것이 잘 알려져 있다. 소성힌지구역의 철근상세 중에서는 축방향철근의 겹침이음 여부가 횡방향철근의 상세보다 더 큰 영향을 준다. 소성힌지구역에 축방향철근이 겹침이음 되어 있는 경우에는 지진이 발생할 때 축방향철근에 미끌어짐(슬립)현상이 발생하여 연성능력을 발휘할 수 없으므로 충분한 내진성능을 발휘하기 어렵다. 그러나 내진설계기준이 도입되기 이전에 설계되어 시공된 교각의 상당수는 시공 상의 편의성으로 교각 하단에 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 상태로 시공되었다. 따라서 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 비내진 교각에 대한 내진성능 평가와 보강에 대한 연구가 많이 수행된 바 있다. 그러나 비내진 교각에 대한 연구는 원형 단면 기둥과 사각형 단면 기둥에 대한 것이 대부분으로, 벽식 교각의 내진성능과 보강방법에 대한 연구는 거의 수행된 바 없다. 본 논문에서는 축방향철근이 겹침이음된 벽식 교각의 거동특성을 실험적으로 파악하고 겹침이음부의 보강개념을 제안하였다. 축방향철근의 겹침이음과 띠철근의 간격을 변수로 한 벽식 교각의 약축 방향 준정적 실험 결과, 변위연성도의 평가에 사용되는 기존의 항복변위의 정의가 벽식 교각에는 부적절하다는 사실을 발견하였다. 따라서 벽식 교각에 대한 항복변위의 새로운 결정방법을 제안하였다. 또한 비내진 벽식 교각의 내진보강에 효과적인 방법으로 강판과 볼트를 이용한 보강방법을 제시하였고, 실험을 통하여 축방향철근의 슬립현상이 지체되고 연성능력이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

Thin walled steel bridge-piers/columns are vulnerable to damage, when subjected to earthquake excitations. Local buckling, global buckling or interaction between local and global buckling usually is the cause of this damage, which results in significant strength reduction of the member. In this study new innovative design concepts, "thin-walled corrugated steel columns" and "thin-walled cellular steel columns" are presented, which allow the column to undergo large plastic deformations without significant strength reduction; hence dissipate energy under cyclic loading. It is shown that, compared with the conventional designs, circular and stiffened box sections, these new innovative concepts might results in cost-effective designs, with improved buckling and ductility properties. Using a finite element model, that takes the non-linear material properties into consideration, it is shown that the corrugations will act like longitudinal stiffeners that are supporting each other, thus improving the buckling behavior and allowing for reduction of the overall wall thickness of the column.

The use of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls (SW) as an efficient lateral load-carrying system has gained recent attention. However, creating openings in RC shear walls is unavoidable due to architectural requirements. This reduces the walls' strength and stiffness, resulting in the development of wall piers. In this study, the cyclic behavior of RC shear walls with openings, reinforced with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets in various patterns, was numerically investigated. Finite element analysis (FEA) using ABAQUS software was employed. Additionally, the retrofitting of sub-standard buildings (5, 10, and 15-story structures) designed based on the old and new versions of the Iranian Code of Practice for Seismic-Resistant Structures was evaluated. Nonlinear static analyses, specifically pushover analyses, were conducted on the structures. The best pattern of CFRP wrapping was determined and utilized for retrofitting the sub-standard structures. Various structural parameters, such as load-carrying capacity, ductility, stress contours, and tension damage contours, were compared to assess the efficiency of the retrofit solution. The results indicated that the load-carrying capacity of the sub-standard structures was lower than that of standard ones by 57%, 69%, and 67% for 5, 10, and 15-story buildings, respectively. However, the retrofit solution utilizing CFRP showed promising results, enhancing the capacity by 10-25%. The retrofitted structures demonstrated increased yield strength, ultimate strength, and ductility through CFRP wrapping and effectively prevented wall slipping.
