Seismic Behavior of RC Bridge Piers Locally Replaced with SFRC-FA Subjected to Torsion Combined with Axial Compression by Jiyang Wang, Yongjun Wang, Chenglin Wan, Rongda Chen, Chengbin Liu, Zhihua Hu

“…In addition, an equation for calculating the torsional bearing capacity of the new composite pier columns was proposed. The results showed that (1) compared with the reinforced concrete pier column, the plastic hinge was shifted from the bottom of the pier column to the middle of the height of the pier column due to the application of SFRC-FA at the bottom of the pier column, which improved the torsional bearing capacity; (2) the effect of reducing the stirrup ratio of the SFRC-FA replacement region on the torsional bearing capacity, cracking mode, energy dissipation, and ductility was not obvious; (3) the accuracy of the new equation based on the space truss model proposed in this article was verified by comparison with the experiments of this study and other researches.…”
