Abstract
Various response quantities (demands) for a variety of steel bridge piers of single-column types and rigid-frame types subjected to Level 2 earthquakes specified in current Japan Highway Specification are investigated. The demands include maximum displacement response, maximum strain response, residual displacement, drift, and cumulative inelastic deformation. Statistical data for those quantities as well as various correlation equations are presented that are obtained from the response analysis. The results will be useful in evaluating the required seismic performance after earthquakes.
