Annotation:
The reduction factor K1 included in the formulas of Guidelines for calculating seismic loads for bridge piers has been evaluated. The dependence of the reduction factor on the ratio of pier reinforcement has been obtained. To this aim the non-linear finite element calculation of the pier under monotonous loading has been carried out and the elastic limit and damaging displacement has been obtained.
