In this paper, Annual Frequency of collapse(AF) of bridge pier is estimated through the realistic material modeling and structural modeling based on the description of applied bridge. An analysis of AF is carried out as following the AASHTO Guide Specification(l991) then, barge and small ship collision analysis using detail finite element analysis is carried out with respect to longitudinal and lateral impact assessment in order to verify the safety of bridge pier. Also, reliability index according to estimated failure probability is calculated.
