Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 2010 In this study, the effect of superstructure-abutment continuity on the distribution of live load effects among the girders of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is investigated. For this purpose, two and three dimensional finite element models of several single-span, symmetrical integral abutment and simply supported (jointed) bridges (SSBs) are built ...

Bahavior and Analysis of an Integral Abutment Bridge
, 2013 In order to quantify the influence of temperature changes on integral abutment bridge movements, thirty-two Sokkia RS30N reflective targets were strategically attached to a bridge along its length. These targets were surveyed every month for twelve consecutive months.

Earthquake Resistance of Integral Abutment Bridges
, 2009 intermediate length bridges. Integral abutment construction eliminates joints and bearings which reduce long-term maintenance costs. However, in the absence of joints and bearings, the bridge abutments and foundations must be able to accommodate lateral ...

Effects of Geogrid Reinforcement on the Backfill of Integral Bridge Abutments
Buildings, 2023 The construction of integral bridges is one of the most effective methods to reduce bridges’ construction and in-service costs. However, there are associated geotechnical problems with their abutments backfill due to the integrated abutments.

Subsoil stiffness effects on the bridge-abutment dynamic behaviour [PDF]
E3S Web of ConferencesIntegral abutment bridges (IABs) are robust structures that avoid the use of bearings and expansion joints and are relatively maintenance-free compared to conventional bridges.
