Displacement-based seismic performance of RC bridge pier

Abstract To correctly manage the road infrastructure before and after an earthquake, it is necessary to estimate even predict seismic performance of bridge. The quantification bridge's response was present in terms displacement also based on previous research reinforced concrete bridge pier models. did define from a force lateral-displacement diagram corresponding capacity curve, calculated through non-linear static pushover analysis model for each limit state, intact state collapse. Thus, six defined displacements correspond cracking displacement, yielding spalling crushing buckling fracturing displacement. states state. Also, parametric carry out evaluate influence, relative importance, trend input parameters model. Eleven analyze as compressive strength, yield stress reinforcing steel, cover thickness, aspect ratio, configuration transverse reinforcement, spacing transversal diameter longitudinal reinforcement axial load coefficient subgrade reaction.
