The daily cost of rail operation is increasing due to the increase of rail network size. Therefore, reduction in operation power consumption is important to rail operator in order to fully optimize the daily operation cost. Operation power consumption in rail operation can be divided into 80% traction power such as vehicle propulsion system and 20%

The use of Ultra‐High‐Performance Concrete (UHPC) is gaining popularity for bridge applications in North America. UHPC has been used both in the construction of new and retrofitting of existing bridges. In this research, a novel use of UHPC as a concrete jacket for retrofitting of plastic hinge zones in cast‐in‐place and precast piers is proposed.
