ULTIMATE STRENGTH DESIGN OF MULTI-CELL RECTANGULAR REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE PIERS

THEORY IS PRESENTED FOR THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH DESIGN OF THIN-WALL, MULTICELL, RECTANGULAR REINFORCED CONCRETE BRIDGE PIERS WHEN SUBJECTED TO COMPRESSION AND BIAXIAL BENDING. THE ANALYSIS IS BASED ON THE SUB-DIVIDION OF A PIER CROSS- SECTION INTO MANY DISCRETE PARTS AND THE SUM OF THE FORCES ACTING ON THESE ELEMENTAL AREAS BY MEANS OF COMPUTER. DATA WERE GENERATED FOR THE PREPARATION OF CHARTS FOR THE ULTIMATE STRENGTH DESIGN OF BOTH HOLLOW RECTANGULAR AND TRIPLE BOX SECTIONS. DESIGN CHARTS FOR TWO DIFFERENT WIDTH TO DEPTH RATIOS ARE INCLUDED FOR THE SIMPLIFICATION OF THE DESIGN PROCEDURE. /AUTHOR/
