Abstract
ABSTRACT This study explored rehabilitation of severely damaged bridge pier models using reinforced concrete jacketing method adopting a plastic hinge relocation technique. The test specimens were tested under cyclic loading. The important seismic performance parameters were evaluated for the rehabilitated specimen. A 3D finite element model was simulated considering concrete-rebar interaction and jacket-pier interface shear. Calibration of the numerically simulated model was done by comparing with experimentally observed responses. Additionally, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effect of shear connectors on performance of the rehabilitated test specimen.
