A new constructive design of a bridge column pier, which is a load-bearing component of bridges and overpasses as well as of complex multilevel interchanges underlying a transport infrastructure, is proposed. The design is based on a steel mesh casing that is made from a solid-web plate by means of cutting meshes and further expansion of the solid-web plate using non-waste technology. Experimental research data on the bearing capacity and deformability of the cylindrical steel-concrete load bearing components of bridge column piers are provided. They are compared with research data on load bearing components having a solid casing. To make the experimental picture complete, analogous research data on cylindrical concrete load bearing components are provided. This experiment includes static and low-cycle loadings of samples under axial compression mentioned above. On the basis of the information obtained, the effort and travel fields are formed, the critical forces of structure buckling are determined. The analysis of the rationality of the cylindrical steel-concrete load bearing component of bridge column piers is carried out, using the experimental research data. To verify the research data, which are obtained in the course of the study of the critical forces of cylindrical steel-concrete load bearing component buckling, the experimental results are compared with theoretical ones.
