Abstract:Circumferential cracks of bridge pier column are relatively common bridge diseases. Combined with the similar problems actually occurred in a project, the field investigations of the construction site is conducted to investigate, compare, analyze and study the characteristics of cracks. With the help of finite element software, the causes of circumferential cracks of this bridge pier column are simulated and analyzed, and the reinforcement schemes of bridge pier column circumferential cracks are further proposed, which provides the reference for the prevention and reinforcement of the circumferential crack diseases of the similar bridge pier columns.
