Monitoring of a Swedish Integral Abutment Bridge
Structural Engineering International, 2011One of the most commonly discussed problems regarding bridges with integral abutments is the influence of longitudinal elongation of the superstructure as a result of seasonal temperature variation...

Design of composite bridges with integral abutments
Steel Construction, 2017AbstractDedicated to Prof. Dr. Akimitsu Kurita on his 70th birthdayBridges are of vital importance to Europe's infrastructure and composite bridges have already become a popular solution in many countries, representing a well‐established alternative to concrete bridges.

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.

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 ...

A probabilistic evaluation of an integral abutment bridge
2016In last years, a new trend in the construction of short and medium span bridges has raised in some countries. The solution of an Integral Abutment Bridge (IAB), when possible to do, reduces the cost of construction and maintenance because expansion joints and bearings are not necessary.

Optimized Design for Soil-Pile Interaction and Abutment Size of Integral Abutment Bridges
IABSE Reports, 2010<p>In the last few years, the integral abutment bridge (IAB) concept has become quite common. It is, incidentally, not a newly developed concept, its formulation dating back at least to the 1930s, in order to deal with long-term structural problems frequently occurring with conventional bridge design.

Evaluation of Seasonal and Yearly Behavior of an Integral Abutment Bridge
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2007This paper presents the field performance evaluation of an integral abutment bridge constructed in Massachusetts that was monitored for a period of three years. Emphasis is primarily made on observed seasonal and yearly behavior. Although the bridge abutments were constructed without any skew, differences have been observed in performance between the ...

Analytical Formulation for Limit Length of Integral Abutment Bridges
Structural Engineering International, 2011The integral abutment bridge concept has recently become a topic of remarkable interest among bridge engineers, not only for newly built bridges but also for refurbishment processes.

Analysis of Curved Integral Abutment Bridges
2010Deformation of bridges that are induced by thermal loads can be accommodated by expansion joints and bearings. Integral Abutment Bridges have gained acceptance as a way to mitigate potential damage from thermal movements, eliminating the poor performance and maintenance costs associated with expansion joints and bearings.

Parametric Study of Concrete Integral Abutment Bridges
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2008A parametric study was conducted to extend the results of an experimental program on a concrete integral abutment (IA) bridge in Rochester, MN to other integral abutment bridges with different design variables including pile type, size, orientation, depth of fixity, and type of surrounding soil, fixity of the connection between the abutment pile cap ...
