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

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. Data from the field monitoring of

Integral Abutment Bridge Behavior: Parametric Analysis of a Massachusetts Bridge
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2007Integral abutment bridges are often a preferred bridge type for moderate spans throughout the United States. However, design methods and construction details vary from state to state. Variations between states are noted in the methods employed to accommodate deformations in the piles. The significance of these differences was evaluated through a finite-

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.

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 ...

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 ...
