Summary In order to investigate applicability of high-strength reinforced concrete including general bridges, Cyclic loading tests of bridge pier models are conducted and evaluation methods of the seismic performance by simulation are proposed. Result of this study indicates possibility to erect the evaluation methods by improving estimation method of the damage process and condition for the bridge piers.
