Jointless Bridges and Bridge Deck Joints in Washington State
Transportation Research Record, 1999Highlights of a 1997 Quality Improvement Review (QIR) of jointless bridges and bridge deck joints in Washington State are summarized. The purpose of the QIR is to determine, assess, and disseminate the current state of the practice and to share this information with the other FHWA Region 10 states and other FHWA regions.

Jointless Bridge Deck with Link Slabs
Transportation Research Record, 2009Link slabs are used over the piers developing jointless decks while adjacent bridge spans remain simply supported. The Michigan Department of Transportation incorporates link slabs during deck replacements and deep resurfacing. Field performance assessment documented full-depth cracking of most of the link slabs.

Research on Transverse Load Distribution Factors for Jointless Bridges
Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English Edition), 2008AbstractThe FEM of the jointless bridge were established with the program ANSYS considering the soil-structure interaction. The pattern of different loads influencing on the transverse load distribution of the middle section and the change of transverse load distribution factors along longitudinal direction were studied.

Flexible Pile Head in Jointless Bridges: Experimental Investigation
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2015AbstractJointless bridges are typically designed with flexible foundations that include one row of piles. Because the main criterion limiting the length of jointless bridges is the lateral displacement capacity of their supporting piles, longer jointless bridges can be built by increasing that capacity.

Performance of Jointless Bridges
Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 1988Over the years, bridge deck expansion joints have performed poorly, resulting in structural distress and other ill effects. In an attempt to remedy this situation, 28 states have constructed long, multiple‐span highway bridges without expansion joints.

Performance Evaluation of Jointless Bridges
Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2002A recent trend in bridge design has been toward the elimination of joints and bearings in the bridge superstructure. Joints and bearings are expensive in both initial and maintenance costs and can get filled with debris, freeze up, and fail in their task to allow expansion and contraction of the superstructure.

Review on research of jointless bridges
2022The technological development of jointless bridges was reviewed, the advatages, application and research hotspots were introduced, the longitudinal stress characteristics, pile-soil interaction, earth pressure of backfill on the autment and seismic performance were analyzed, and the present situation and development direction of the new technology ...

Design Model for Piles in Jointless Bridges
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1988Piles in integral abutment bridges (jointless bridges) are subjected to lateral movement due to thermal expansion and contraction of the superstructure. The reduction in vertical load‐carrying capacity of the piles due to lateral movement is an important parameter in designing the piles and in setting length limits for the jointless bridge.

Prestressed Concrete Piles in Jointless Bridges
PCI Journal, 1996The purpose of this investigation is to determine the feasibility of using precast, prestressed concrete piles in jointless bridges and to develop design criteria and pile-abutment joint details that can be used in practice. This phase of the project comprised an experimental and analytical study of load-deflection behavior of HP 10-42 and 12x12 in ...
