Design of Slender, Nonprismatic, and Hollow Concrete Bridge Piers

R. W. Poston / M. Diaz / J. E. Breen / J. M. Roesset

This report contains detailed recommendations for desirable revisions in the AASHTO Specifications design approach for slender columns, and introduces second order analysis computer codes for electronic computation to improve design of slender concrete bridge piers and bents. The computer codes contain designer-oriented input provisions so that automatic application of load factors and simplified reinforcement distribution patterns can be selected. Separate verification showed the programs to be accurate for a wide range of pier configurations and loading. Input guides and several examples are included. The programs were developed to cover a wide range of variables indicated from a survey of highway departments. This survey is also summarized in this report.
