Out-of-Plane Seismic Response of Reinforced concrete Bridge Pier Walls

摘要

The objective of this research was to evaluate the out - of - plane seis - mic behavior of representative bridge pier walls that exist in the U. S. and to develop an analytical model to determine the seismic Response of bridge pier walls. A comprehensive bridge pier wall Survey was conducted based on seven one - half scale wall speci - Mens designed and tested under slow cyclic loads that were per - Pendicular to the plane of the walls.
