it gave a great architectural shape after construction , if its direct placed upon piles( mono piles) no need to bent or disturb pile reinforcement, if its in water ( river, sea, ) to reduce Water erosion effect on concrete

Round Columns/Pillars are theoretically more stable and better for transferring loads to foundation, than square or rectangle cross-sectional columns.

Usually the loads that are transferred to columns in bridges case are dynamic and moving due to traffic, the shape that has a constant inertia along all axes is the circle. This leads to a more economical design with a lower cross section to enhance the visibly through various angles around the pillar

Although this is not my specialist, i read about it, the circular pillars of Bridges they make it, because you don't need to flush them to anything, also circular looks aesthetic there.

Is not a requirement to use the circular columns in bridges. ... Possible use of rectangular section columns .or in the form of T and decide to form by loads falling on the surface section of the column..
