RELIABILITY EVALUATION OF STEEL PIERS OF HIGHWAY BRIDGES SUBJECTED TO EARTHQUAKE LOAD

A reliability evaluation is performed for steel piers of existing highway bridges subjected to an earthquake load. Twelve typical types of pier structures which were designed by the allowable stress design method (ASDM) are selected, and then the reliability analysis is performed by the use of the extended level 2 method. The influence of load effect due to earthquake on the reliability of twelve piers is examined.
