Laboratory Tests and Numerical Simulations of CFRP Strengthened RC Pier Subjected to Barge Impact Load

Bridge piers are designed to withstand not only axial loads of superstructures and passingvehicles but also out-of-plane loads such as earthquake excitations and vessel impact loads.Vessel impact on bridge piers can lead to substantial damages or even collapse of bridgestructures. An increasing numb...
