Review on research of jointless bridges

2022
The 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 ...

Mechanical Characteristics of a New Type of Jointless Bridge with an Arch Structure

International Conference on Smart City and Systems Engineering, 2018
This paper investigates the mechanical characteristics of the jointless bridge, which is a new type of integral abutment bridge with an arch structure behind the abutment. Load tests were conducted on the three half-bridge plexiglass models with the pile

Jointless Bridges and Bridge Deck Joints in Washington State

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1999
Highlights 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.

Continuity Considerations in Prestressed Concrete Jointless Bridges

Structures 2004, 2004
Jointless bridges, which have been constructed by several states, promote reduced maintenance costs, improved riding quality, lower impact loads, reduced snowplow damage to decks and approaches, and improved seismic resistance. In spite of many of these recognized benefits, the behavior of such structures is not yet fully understood, and nationally ...

Design Model for Piles in Jointless Bridges

Journal of Structural Engineering, 1988
Piles 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.

Jointless Bridge Decks

Engineering Journal, 1987
Todays bridge designer is striving essentially to achieve the same goals as his counterparts were 50 years ago: long term serviceability, low maintenance characteristics and economy of construction. While we have mastered new techniques such as welding, composite decks, hybrid girders, load factor and autostress designs, we still cling to many of the ...

Flexible Pile Head in Jointless Bridges: Experimental Investigation

Journal of Bridge Engineering, 2015
AbstractJointless 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.

Partial Continuity in Bridge Girders with Jointless Decks

Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction, 2005
Many bridges are constructed in groups of simple spans. This construction system requires the use of deck (expansion) joints over piers, leading to numerous problems that are costly to maintain or repair. The use of jointless bridge decks is one of the alternatives gaining popularity among bridge engineers and officials. The construction of new bridges

In-Service Performance of Integral Bridges and Jointless Decks

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 1998
New York has been building integral bridges as well as jointless decks since the late 1970s. They performed well from the beginning, but a recent study evaluated their performance to identify details possibly needing improvement in future construction.
