In this study, the numerical analysis method was proposed to analyse the structural behaviour of bridge columns under various impact loading conditions. A parametric study of vehicle impact simulation was carried out to determine the impact loading-time functions. According to the impact simulation results, five-point piecewise linear approximation is proposed and validated. The proposed loading function was applied to the material nonlinear finite element analyses of two different types of bridge piers, the cast-in-place reinforced concrete bridge columns and the prefabricated bridge columns, which were designed under the same loading conditions. The dynamic performances of the considered bridge piers are compared using the results of dynamic numerical analyses. Also, the static design loadings of a vehicle crash defined in the Korean bridge design code and AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications were applied to analyse the results of the dynamic analyses of the piers.
