Abstract:
      The analysis model for RC bridge piers with flexural-shear interaction was proposed based on the Modified Compression Field Theory (MCFT) and fiber element model.In the analysis model,the shear force-shear displacement relationship was obtained by the MCFT,and implemented in a nonlinear fiber analysis program to simulate the flexure-shear-axial interaction of the bridge piers.The accuracy of the analysis model was verified by comparing with quasi-static test results of 6 circular bridge piers failed in flexural-shear mode.It is found that the yield strength,ultimate strength and elastic shear stiffness of the bridge piers predicted by MCFT are very accurate.The shear cracking is the key influencing factor induced the changing of shear stiffness,while the flexural cracking and yielding of the longitudinal bars has little influence.Compared with test results,the proposed flexural-shear interaction analysis model simulated the hysteretic curves,flexural and shear deformations of the bridge piers well.
