To　study　the　seismic　performance　of　reinforced　concrete　hollow　piers,　models　with　different　axial　compression　ratios,　reinforcement　ratios,　and　height　were　established　and　their　seismic　performance　was　observed　by　nonlinear　analysis　based　on　the　finite　element　analysis　software　OpenSees.　The　results　indicate　that　hollow　piers　have　good　seismic　performance,　and　the　change　of　the　relative　property　parameters　will　affect　the　performance.　The　research　result　of　this　paper　can　be　used　in　bridge　engineering.　©　2014　American　Society　of　Civil　Engineers.
