Basic Study on the Proposal of New Measures to Improve the Ductility of RC Bridge Pier and Their Effectiveness

To enhance the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) elements, it is essential to consider both strength and ductility post-yielding. This study proposed a novel method to improve the ductility of RC piers by using preformed inward-bending longitudinal reinforcements at the plastic hinges....
