This paper addresses the usage of new construction materials made of natural fibre reinforced polymer and concrete composite for future earthquake-resistant structures. The structure considered is a simple circular bridge pier. To evaluate the seismic performance of the structure shake table experiments were performed. To reveal the consequence of the magnitude of the ground excitation for the structure the effect of a gradual increase of the peak ground displacement is investigated. The results show that although external damage to the structure cannot be observed the bond between polymer and concrete is a significant factor that determines the performance of the structure.
