The equations for consideration these forces is the 2AASHTO Guide Specifications Design Method3 that gives a simple manual calculation method to estimate an 2equivalent impact force. A parametric study was conducted to compare for several bracing systems and different shapes for the bridge{u2019}s pier. Results from such study indicate that, dynamic analysis technique are preferable, and the best system has excellent energy absorbing capabilities UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
