The flexibility of the foundation system significantly affects the seismic and operational
performance of integral abutment bridges (IAB). The so-called pile isolation system can lead …

Abstract Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are increasingly popular due to their reduced
maintenance cost compared to traditional bridges with expansion joints. However, the …

Integral abutment bridges (IABs) generate strong soil–structure interaction (SSI) effects due
to their high structural stiffness and transmission of inertial and thermal loads generated at …

The technological development of jointless bridges was reviewed, the advatages,
application and research hotspots were introduced, the longitudinal stress characteristics …

The paper presents three methods of the numerical modeling of a 60 m long integral bridge
structure resting on an elastic half-space. For the analysis, three bridge models were built …

Integral bridges are a relatively recent design concept in which there is structural continuity
at the girder–abutment interface. Whilst this has led to numerous advantages, it has also …

The UK Collaboratorium for Research on Infrastructure and Cities (UKCRIC) is, with a
capital investment of£ 138 million from the UK government and matched funding from its 15 …

The expansion devices (expansion joints) can be eliminated in jointless bridges to
fundamentally resolve the disease and maintenance and replacement problems caused by …
