ANALYSIS OF THE TIME COURSE OF A BRIDGE ABUTMENTS SETTLEMENT [PDF]
The paper deals with the time course of the bridge abutments settlement (consolidation of the subsoil) on the motorway D4 in Stupava, Slovakia. The bridge abutments are founded on an earth embankment 5.5 meters in height and a group of piles.

Dominant responses of bridge abutments
Abstract Under seismic conditions a bridge abutment can transfer significant inertial effects to the superstructure due to its interaction with a large volume of soil. These effects can lead to a marked dynamic amplification of the abutment response that should be accounted for in bridge design.

Ultimate Limit States of Bridge Abutments
AbstractThis paper deals with the capacity of bridge abutments, which is an important element for the evaluation of the seismic performance of bridges with integral or semi-integral abutments and y...

Integral Abutment and Jointless Bridges [PDF]
Integral bridges, or integral abutment and jointless bridges, as they are more commonly known in the USA, are constructed without any movement joints between spans or between spans and abutments. Typically these bridges have stub-type abutments supported

Predicting maximum scour depth around bridge abutment using M5 model [PDF]
Scour around piers and abutments leads to a lot of bridge failures. Scouring around the bridge piers and abutments is one of the most important factors in bridge failure which happens over time and increases during floods, probably causing general damage

A multiaxial inertial macroelement for bridge abutments
AbstractThis paper proposes a multiaxial macroelement for bridge abutments that can be included in the global structural model of a bridge to carry out nonlinear dynamic analyses with very much smaller computational effort than can be achieved using continuum representations of embankment and foundation soil behaviour. The proposed macroelement derives

Local scour around bridge piers and abutments is one of the most significant causes of bridge failure. Despite a plethora of studies on scour around individual bridge piers or abutments, few studies have focused on the joint impact of a pier and an ...

Expansion and contraction of integral abutment bridges due to temperature changes force integral bridge abutments (IBAs) to move toward and away from the backfill, thus increasing horizontal earth pressures behind the abutments and inducing bending ...

Seismic Fragility Analysis of Multi-span Continuous Girder-rigid Frame Bridges [PDF]
In order to study the seismic fragility of multi-span continuous girder-rigid frame bridges, based on OpenSEES platform, a non-linear seismic response analysis model of the actual bridge was established.

Laboratory experiments to analyse the influence of bridge profiles on debris-flow impact forces [PDF]
Debris-flow impact plays a significant role in the failure of bridges in mountainous areas posing a risk to human life and leading to high reconstruction costs. The aim of this study is to measure and quantify the frontal impact forces of debris flows on
