Analysis and Verification of Load–Deformation Response for Rocking Self-Centering Bridge Piers
Rocking self-centering (RSC) bridge piers were proposed based on the bridge seismic resilience design theory, pushing the development of bridge sustainability. To develop a seismic design method for RSC bridge piers, a clear understanding of their behavior under earthquakes is essential. This study analyzed the whole lateral force–displacement response of RSC piers, taking into account both rotational and flexural deformation, which resulted in a clearer understanding of their behavior under seismic actions. In this study, the whole loading process was simplified into three statuses, and a calculation method was developed to determine the relationship between lateral force and displacement of both single-column and double-column RSC bridge piers. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified by comparing the calculated results with experimental data for six single-column and two double-column RSC bridge piers. The results show that the proposed calculation method predicts the initial stiffness, yield and peak loads, and yield and peak displacements well for RSC bridge piers. The method offers valuable insights into the seismic response of RSC bridge piers, which can serve as a reference for future research, promoting the safety and stability of these structures.
