Corporation, (BMRC), Displacement , Force Based DesignAbstract
Performance study of the typical pier designed by a Force Based Design (FBD) Method and Direct Displacement Based Design (DDBD) Method is described in this paper . The pier is designed based on FBD and DDBD Method. Performance assessment is carried out for the designed pier and the results are discussed briefly.
