Bridge Piers: Types and Requirements

Hello, folks! Today, we will talk about bridge piers. This is a two-part article, and it's the first part. You will find the second part here.

Any bridge structure is a blend of two parts: substructure and superstructure. For bridges with bearings, all the segments which move the loads from bearing to the ground is called substructure.

Substructure comprises bridge pier, projections, wing dividers, piles and so on while the superstructure comprises deck, supports or any part on which the traffic moves securely, for example, street way, braces, curves, and so on. In this article we attempt to talk about the piers, its capacity and its sorts.

Bridge Pier bolster the ranges of the bridge and move the loads from superstructure to the establishment. Piers ought to be sufficiently able to take the both vertical and even load. Its principle work is to move the load from the bridge superstructure establishment underneath it.

They are exposed to immense hub loads and bi-hub minutes and shear powers transverse and longitudinal. Said that, piers are typically pressure components of a bridge. Piers are alluded to as Bents as well.
