The optimal shapes of piles in integral abutment bridges
Abstract Integral abutment bridges (IABs) can be used to avoid the durability issues associated with bearings and expansion joints. For this type of bridge, the design of the optimal pile foundation, especially with respect to the horizontal stiffness, is a challenging issue.

Study on Calculation Method of Larger Unbalanced Earth Pressure of Backfill behind Abutment in Integral Abutment Jointless Bridges [PDF]
In order to study the variation of larger unbalanced earth pressure of backfill behind abutment caused by vehicle load, several reciprocating low-cycle pseudo-static tests on interaction of soil-abutment-steel H-pile with or without considering the ...

Expansion and contraction of integral abutment bridges due to temperature changes force integral bridge abutments (IBAs) to move toward and away from the backfill, thus increasing horizontal earth pressures behind the abutments and inducing bending ...

Effects of Geogrid Reinforcement on the Backfill of Integral Bridge Abutments
The construction of integral bridges is one of the most effective methods to reduce bridges’ construction and in-service costs. However, there are associated geotechnical problems with their abutments backfill due to the integrated abutments.

Geosynthetic-reinforced soil (GRS) technology has been used worldwide since the 1970s. An extension to its development is the application as a bridge abutment, which was initially developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) in the United ...

Environment-Induced Performance of End Concrete Diaphragm in Skewed Semi-Integral Bridges
Past research has shown that as skewed bridges change temperature, additional lateral movement or forces will occur along with the elongation of the bridge. Even though past research has documented this behavior, lateral movements of semi-integral bridge

Investigation on Flooding-Resistant Performance of Integral Abutment and Jointless Bridge
Bridge washouts connected to flood events are deemed one of the main reasons for structural collapse. Compared to traditional continuous jointed bridges, integral abutment and jointless bridges (IAJBs) have better lateral stability because there are no ...

Subsoil stiffness effects on the bridge-abutment dynamic behaviour [PDF]
Integral abutment bridges (IABs) are robust structures that avoid the use of bearings and expansion joints and are relatively maintenance-free compared to conventional bridges.

An innovative steel-concrete joint for integral abutment bridges
Integral abutment bridges are becoming rather common, due to the durability problems of bearings and expansion joints. At the same time, among short- and medium-span bridges, multi-beam steel-concrete composite deck with hot-rolled girder is an ...

Monitoring of a bridge with integral abutment
<p>Preliminary results obtained from short term test-loading are used to illustrate possibilities of FEM used to calibrate complex interaction characteristics between a pile and soil in a bridge with integral abutments. The measurements are obtained during the winter season on the bridge over Ledån, Northern Sweden.
