End-corrosion is typical damage to steel bridge piers, which will reduce the seismic
performance. Unlike overall uniform corrosion, end-corrosion results in more complex …

The pier is a vital structural component of bridges and thus critically considered in the
seismic design. In order to provide an accurate and efficient methodology in the analysis of …

Bolted joints are commonly used in mechanical connections and they pose the complex
hysteretic behavior due to the existence of contact and friction. Various bolted joint models …

A hysteretic model of reinforced concrete (RC) bridge piers in saline soil environment,
incorporating corrosion-induced overall structural degradation, is obtained based on …

In this study, the multiple-spring (MS) model with the curve-approximated hysteresis rule is
proposed for the nonlinear seismic response simulation of bidirectionally loaded hollow …

The main damage caused by earthquakes to single-column circular-section steel piers is the
bulged deformation at the bottom, generated by local instability. The refined shell-based …

The local instability of steel plates is the predominant seismic failure mode for steel bridge
piers. However, the application of shell-based finite-element (FE) models in an engineering …

A modified curve-approximated hysteretic model for partially concrete-filled steel tube
(PCFST) bridge piers is developed based on the previous research work. The proposed …

To propose a seismic response calculation model for eccentrically compressed steel piers
that can consider the local instability effect and horizontal bidirectional earthquake actions …

The seismic performance assessment of bridges by nonlinear time history analysis using
unidirectional spectrum-matched accelerograms is generally adopted in Japan's …
