Seismic Performance and Retrofit of Multi-Column Bridge Bents
The objectives of this study were as follows: to establish by experimental testing the expected performance of the substructures of existing multi-column bent bridges without any retrofitting measures; to evaluate the application of retrofit measures developed for single-column bent bridges to multi-column bent bridges; to evaluate the feasibility and benefits resulting from retrofit measures applied to only a few of the substructure elements; to evaluate the effectiveness of a proposed retrofit measure for multi-column bridges consisting of the addition of a link beam within the bent; and to draw conclusions and make recommendations for practical methods of evaluating and improving the safety of substructures in existing multi-column bridges.
