Literature review compares seismic performance of prefabricated piers, suggesting advancements for engineering practice.

The aim is to evaluate the seismic performance of different connection methods for prefabricated piers.
Reviewed literature on prefabricated bridge piers and connection methods.
Compared various connection methods like sleeve, grouted ducts, and prestress.
Explored performance metrics in seismic contexts.
Sleeve and grouted ducts show seismic performance similar to cast‐in‐place piers.
Prestress connections have low energy dissipation capacity suitable for low-intensity areas.
Hybrid connections with energy devices indicate potential but face durability and complexity challenges.
Socket and slot connections perform comparably to cast‐in‐place members despite unclear mechanisms.

Li et al. (2026) studied this question.
