Buckling of piles in cohesive soil supporting jointless bridges

Bridge Structures, 2012
Soil-structure and especially soil-pile interaction is one of the main sources of complication in the analysis of jointless bridges. Because of the complexity of the problem, calculation of the critical buckling load of embedded piles has always been a concern to the designers since piles are relatively slender elements.

Jointless Concrete Bridges – Development of a Flexible Abutment

IABSE Reports, 2007
<p>For bigger concrete bridges the jointless construction hasn’t been established up to now. Concerns regarding the durability still exist since constraint stresses as a result of temperature alterations and shrinkage lead to crack initiation. With the use of the new flexible abutment these restraint stresses and occurring cracks can be reduced ...

Research on Transverse Load Distribution Factors for Jointless Bridges

Journal of Highway and Transportation Research and Development (English Edition), 2008
AbstractThe 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.

Mobilization of Passive Earth Pressures Behind Abutments of Jointless Bridges

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2004
Bridges without expansion joints are referred to as integral bridges. The abutment and the superstructure of integral bridges act as a single structural unit. As the temperature of an integral bridge changes, the length of the bridge increases and decreases.

Re-Examination of I-Girder/Pier Connection in Jointless Bridges

PCI Journal, 2001
Elimination of expansion joints in bridge decks results in initial economy and long-term durability. It provides a smooth riding surface, minimizes maintenance cost caused by water leakage, and provides a relatively high span-to-depth ratio of the superstructure.

Recent Experience with High-Performance Concrete Jointless Bridges in Tennessee

Transportation Research Record: Journal of the Transportation Research Board, 2003
Experimental and analytical studies of two high-performance concrete (HPC) jointless bridges with integral abutments built in Tennessee as part of the FHWA’s nationwide initiative to implement HPC in bridge structures are presented. Performance of the two bridges is observed through all stages of construction and service to date, via material testing,
