The effects of grid-steel plates to enhance the seismic performance of masonry pier of railway bridges were experimentally studied and numerically investigated by Applied Element Method (AEM). By improving the details of grid-steel plate retrofitting method, sliding of blocks could be eliminated and rocking behavior of a retrofitted column was observed. AEM simulation with appropriate modeling of boundary surfaces between concrete blocks and PVC sheet showed acceptable simulation results.
