Transition Slabs of Integral Abutment Bridges
Structural Engineering International, 2011Over the past decades, an increasing number of bridges with integral abutment have been built in Switzerland. This type of bridge offers various advantages over standard bridges with abutments, equipped with expansion joints and bearings that require regular inspection and maintenance.

Nonlinear Analysis of Integral Abutment Bridges
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1986A state-of-the-art, three-dimensional, nonlinear finite element algorithm is developed and used to study piling stresses and pile-soil interaction in integral abutment bridges. The finite element idealization consists of beam-column elements with geometric and material nonlinearities for the pile, and nonlinear springs for the soil.

Observed integral abutment bridge substructure response
Engineering Structures, 2013Abstract Two integral abutment bridges in Vermont, USA were instrumented and monitored to report behavior under seasonal thermal load. This paper describes substructure response from 30 months of field data. The bridges are single span steel girder bridges of approximately 40 m on pile foundations.

Integral Abutment Bridges: The European Way
Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2010Integral abutment bridges are becoming more popular in Europe, but the traditions differ from country to country. This leads to different technical solutions for the same problem in each country. A European survey was conducted in early 2007 to illustrate the design criteria used by each different country for integral abutment bridges.

Semi Static Loads in an Integral Abutment Bridge
IABSE Reports, 2016<p>In order to solve the durability problem of expansion joints and bearings, Integral Abutment Bridges (IAB) have become more and more popular. Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) is a factor that conditions the possibility of the construction of a new IAB, or the retrofitting of an existing from a simply supported bridge into an IAB. Under imposed

Pier and Abutment Scour: Integrated Approach
Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, 1997This paper summarizes many of the results from an extensive program of bridge scour research undertaken at The University of Auckland, New Zealand. An integrated approach to the estimation of local scour depth at bridge piers and abutments, collectively termed bridge foundations, is presented. The design method is based on empirical relations, termed K-

Field Performance of Integral Abutment Bridge
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000The behavior of an integral abutment bridge near Rochester, Minnesota, was investigated from the beginning of construction through several years of service by monitoring more than 180 instruments that were installed in the bridge during construction. The instrumentation was used to measure abutment horizontal movement, abutment rotation, abutment pile

Field Monitoring of Integral Abutment Bridge in Massachusetts
Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2004Integral abutment bridges are increasingly being used to eliminate undesirable bridge joint effects on the long-term performance of bridges. Although many states use this type of construction, common design guidelines are lacking, and nonuniform limitations on integral abutment design are imposed by different agencies.

Evaluation on the behavior of abutment–pile connection in integral abutment bridge
Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2011Abstract Integral abutment bridges can reduce the amount and cost of construction and maintenance work since they do not have expansion joints and shoes in order to increase stability and durability of the bridges’ system. Integral abutment bridges normally have single-row H-pile systems to resist the behaviors under service loading conditions such ...

Longitudinal seismic response of integral abutment bridges
Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Bridge Engineering, 2023A finite-element (FE) investigation into the response of integral abutment bridges (IABs) to seismic loading in the longitudinal direction was conducted. An example multi-span reinforced concrete solid-slab bridge was designed and analysed using an elasto-plastic two-dimensional FE model.
