Analytical Formulation for Limit Length of Integral Abutment Bridges

Structural Engineering International, 2011
The 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.

A probabilistic evaluation of an integral abutment bridge

2016
In 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.

Parametric Study of Concrete Integral Abutment Bridges

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2008
A 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 ...

Analysis of Curved Integral Abutment Bridges

2010
Deformation 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.

Integral Bridge Abutment to Approach Slab Connection

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2013
AbstractThis paper presents the findings of a performance investigation of two approach slabs (a cast-in-place slab and a precast panel slab) integrally connected to two parallel bridges.

Predicting the Earth Pressure on Integral Bridge Abutments

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2012
The soil adjacent to integral bridge abutments experiences daily and annual temperature-induced cyclic loading due to expansion and contraction of the bridge deck. This causes a particular soil response and complicated soil-structure interaction problem, with considerable uncertainties in design. This paper describes a method of calculating the effects

Integral bridge abutment - approach embankment interaction

IABSE Reports, 2010
<p>The study deals with the development of long jointless bridges with a focus on soil–structure interaction. The instrumentation of Haavistonjoki Bridge was completed in the autumn of 2003. The data were collected by monitoring altogether 191 gauges installed in the bridge structures during construction.
