This project investigated a new seismic retrofitting technique for bridge column-footing substructure components considering the influence of soil-structure interactions (SSI). The seismic retrofitting technique uses titanium alloy bars to provide both confinement of the concrete column and a supplemental flexural tension load path. Laboratory and
