What is it about?
Lightly reinforced mass concrete piers are seismically vulnerable due to their excessive weight and inadequate reinforcement. The present paper aims to outline an innovative method for seismic rehabilitation of such piers using post-tensioning technique.

Why is it important?
The method developed in the paper explain how the old lightly reinforced concrete piers may rehabilitate against earthquake.
Perspectives
The method described in this paper was executed for three bridges in Iran about ten years ago. Consequently, in addition to its technical efficiency, its applicability aspects have been investigated.
