Experimental and numerical investigations on the seismic behavior of bridge piers with vertical unbonded prestressing strands

In the performance-based seismic bridge design, piers are expected to undergo large inelastic deformations during severe earthquakes, which in turn can result in large residual drift and concrete crack in the bridge piers. In this paper, longitudinal unbonded prestressing strands are used to minimiz...
