Laboratory tests and numerical simulations of barge impact on circular reinforced concrete piers

Bridge structures across navigable waterways are vulnerable to barge collisions. To protect the bridge structure, bridge piers should be specially designed to resist barge impact load. In order to quantify the impact load, barge-pier impact tests and/or reliable theoretical or numerical predictions...
