Durable transition structure for long integral abutment bridges

open access: yesStructural Concrete, 2018
The construction of integral abutment bridges is becoming more common. Since these bridge structures have no expansion joints or bearings, it is possible to build low‐maintenance and long‐lasting structures.

Field Monitoring of Integral Abutment Bridge in Massachusetts

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2004
Integral 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, 2007
Integral 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, 1986
A 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, 2011
One 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, 2017
AbstractDedicated 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.

Field Performance of Integral Abutment Bridge

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2000
The 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 ...

Evaluation on the behavior of abutment–pile connection in integral abutment bridge

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 2011
Abstract 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 ...

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, 2007
This 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 ...
