After the Hyogo-ken-nanbu earthquake on January 17, 1995, several design methods for restoration and new earthquake-proof standards have been proposed.
In this study, ten steel box column specimens (including seven concrete-filled steel specimens) modeling steel bridge piers were designed on the basis of the method for check of ultimate earthquake resistance proposed by the authors, and tested pseudodynamically using the accelerograms obtained during the Hyogoken-nanbu earthquake. In accordance with the test results, the varidity and usefulness of the adopted design method were made clear.
