Abstract


The seismic analysis of a bridge pier with isolated foundation considering the effects of soil-structure interaction is a better indicator of the dynamic response of the structure. This paper presents design forces computed for bridge piers of varying heights with developed approaches. The results have revealed that the difference of base shear demand between force based and displacement based approaches decrease with increase in slenderness ratio. The similar trend is also observed for difference in base shear demand between capacity spectrum and displacement based methods. The base shear demand by nonlinear time history analysis is large in comparison to other considered design methods. The relationship between height and cross-section of bridge pier has been worked out such that the base shear demand by force based and displacement based design are closer. The average value of the slenderness ratio for all zones and soil types is found to be 5.0.
