The　seismic　behavior　of　Chinese　RC　(Reinforced　Concrete)　bridge　piers　with　insufficient　seismic　details,　severely　damaged　after　an　earthquake　and　then　repaired　and　retrofitted　by　rapid　interventions　is　investigated.　The　proposed　interventions　are　applied　on　the　damaged　steel　rebar　and　concrete　parts　in　plastic　hinge　zone　to　guarantee　the　proper　plastic　dissipation　of　the　seismic　energy　and　the　necessary　shear　strength　and　ductility　improvements.　New　longitudinal　shaped　rebars　and　concrete　jackets　are　used　to　substitute　the　pier　damaged　parts.　Two　repair　and　retrofitting　procedures　are　presented　and　applied　on　1:6　scaled　pier　specimens　designed　on　the　base　of　Chinese　codes　[1]-[3]:　the　first　one　uses　an　self-compacting　concrete　to　build　the　concrete　jacket　and　carbon　Fiber　Reinforced　Polymer　(CFRP)　wrapping　to　assure　the　seismic　improvements;　the　second　one　uses　an　ultra-high　performance　fiber　reinforced　concrete　(UHPFRC)　with　steel　fiber　to　build　the　concrete　jacket　and　to　assure　the　seismic　upgrading　allowing　time　and　cost　saving.　The　results　of　the　first　experimental　tests　on　1:6　scaled　pier　specimens　repaired　and　retrofitting　by　the　two　procedures,　are　compared　and　discussed.
