Experimental study of impact loading effect on bridge substructures including piles

One of the main reasons bridge substructure’s collapse is due to vehicular collision its support, specifically columns, and as now, there a lack understanding on inter-relation between columns piles when subjected impact load. As such, major purpose this investigation was study behaviour concrete under (impact load) assess stresses distributed collision. Experimental tests were performed by conducting pendulum scaled down specimens. The findings showed an expected in terms peak displacement along where reduced size increased. Furthermore, increasing column also load transferred during
