Wall-type reinforced concrete piers have been broadly constructed out of urban area under space limitation. If the longitudinal axis of a bridge with this type of pier intersects to the direction of river flow or railway line with some skewed angle, however, the deformation capacity against earthquake should be evaluated appropriately as a function of the skewed angle. This paper aims to study a rational procedure of seismic design through cyclic loading tests for wall-type skewed piers in consideration of the bearing restriction. As a result, several important findings are obtained such as; the skewed angle makes the buckling length of longitudinal reinforcement short, the skewed angle improves load and deformation capacity.
