Abstract:To rapidly restore the seismic behaviour of a portal steel bridge column after an earthquake, the installation of replaceable tubular steel piers at the root of a portal steel bridge column is proposed herein. In this study, various tubular steel piers with different structural measures were designed; an axial compression test and a numerical simulation of the newly designed tubular steel piers were performed. The effects of parameters such as the structure of stiffening rib, the strength of LYP steel plate, t… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
