Abstract:In order to study the seismic performance of precast segmental bridge pier with grouted sleeve, two pier models with different sleevefixed positions and one castinplace benchmark were used to conduct pseudostatic tests. The damage area, damage development and failure mode of the models were observed. And their seismic performance was summarized by analyzing hysteresis curves, skeleton curves, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation. The results show that two pier models with different sleevefixed positions share similar seismic performance in spite of difference in damage mode and plastichinge mechanism; the damage of precast pier models is slighter and focuses on the area of segmental interface; precast pier models are emulative considering various seismic performance parameters and their performance is able to meet seismic demand.
