  To evaluate the seismic resistance capacity of steel rigid frame piers for railway, experiments of steel rigid frame pier models were carried out. In this paper, we describe the results of cyclic loading tests and pseudo-dynamic tests of steel rigid frame pier models, and explain the seismic resistance capacity of steel rigid frame piers evaluated by a simple analytical method by comparing with experimental results.
