Behaviour of H-piles supporting an integral abutment bridge

Earth Pressure behind an Integral Bridge Abutment and Comparison with that behind a Conventional Bridge Abutment under Traffic Loads

 Integral bridges are gaining increased popularity because of both economic and fast construction associated with the omission of bearing supports and expansion joints. In the present study the cyclic earth pressure behind integral bridge abutments under traffic surcharges are investigated and compared with that induced behind the abutment of  conventional bridges (with isolated deck and abutme...

Load Rating and Frp Retrofitting of Bridge Abutment Timber Piles

Monitoring of a Swedish Integral Abutment Bridge

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 variations. A bridge built with integral abutments is often supported by a row of piles made of steel or concrete. The longitudinal elongation of the superstructure induces a displacement and a rotation at the...

Vehicle Induced Vibration on Real Bridge and Integral Abutment Bridge – A Short Review

Nowadays, vehicle-induced vibration is a subject matter interest in the bridge monitoring field. As compared to other types of excitation such as earthquake and accidental impact, the vehicle-induced vibration is often being less considered during the design process of the bridge. The newly implementedcode also does not emphasize on the vibration check for vehicular bridge and requires the engi...

Time Development of Local Scour around Semi Integral Bridge Piers and Piles in Malaysia

Scouring around a bridge pier is a complex phenomenon. More laboratory experiments are required to understand the scour mechanism. This paper focused on time development of local scour around piers and piles in semi integral bridges. Laboratory data collected at Hydraulics Laboratory, University of Malaya was analyzed for this purpose. Tests were performed with two different uniform sediment si...
