[0007] Furthermore, the inner diameter and axial compressive bearing capacity of the hollow sandwich steel tube concrete section in the core area of ​​the bottom segment are consistent with those of the hollow section of the upper segment.

[0008] Furthermore, the foundation is pre-embedded with anchor steel bars extending upward, and the longitudinal bars of the middle segment extend downward to form anchor steel bars, and threaded connection joints are provided at the ends; the anchor steel bars are axially colinear with the energy-absorbing steel rods and are connected at the joints through mechanical joints.

[0009] Furthermore, the hollow part of each segment is coaxially connected with the inner steel pipe of the bottom segment to form a continuous prestressed tendon bundle passage.

[0015] 2. Under the action of earthquake, the prestressed tendons maintain elasticity and provide self-reset capability, allowing the peripheral area of ​​the bottom segment and the energy-absorbing steel rod to produce elastic-plastic deformation, provide energy-absorbing capacity, realize the coordinated work of the self-reset elements and energy-absorbing elements of the pier, and reduce the residual deformation of the pier after the earthquake.
