[PDF][PDF] Optimization of seismic design of single column circular reinforced concrete bridge piers
R Verma, MJN Priestley - 1990 - onlinepubs.trb.org
A design algorithm is developed to incorporate design philosophy for seismic capacity in a
computer program for the optimal design of single-column circular reinforced concrete
bridge piers for seismic loading. The program designs the circular column as a single
degree of freedom system under the combined effect of axial and lateral seismic loads over
a broad range of axial load ratio, column height, and design displacement ductility capacity.
For a given column height and axial load, results indicate the existence of an optimal column …
