This document calculates the seismic coefficients for a pier structure. It provides calculations for the horizontal seismic force (Feq) equal to the horizontal seismic coefficient (Ah) multiplied by the dead and live loads. It determines Ah based on the zone factor, response reduction factor, and time period. It then calculates the time period and stiffness of the pier/abutment. Finally, it calculates the seismic coefficients in the longitudinal and transverse directions by determining the total load, time period, and acceleration coefficient for the structure.
