DESIGN DETAILS OF INTEGRAL BRIDGES
Abstract eng: Integral bridges have been found to outperform jointed bridges, decreasing maintenance costs, and enhancing the life expectancy of the superstructures. However, a standard design method for integral bridges does not exist. Several factors must still be investigated to gain a better understanding of the behavior of integral abutments, and the factors that influence their analysis, design, detailing, and construction. In this paper, we will be investigating the deckstringer-abutment continuity details. Most connections are designed as rigid by using adequate reinforcement detailing between the slab, girders and abutment. However, 1) cracking on the deck has been observed, 2) the detailing may vary as a function of structure geometry. In this work, we are evaluating design details that have been standardized for a variety of applications, and we are suggesting the next step in research that will result in final design specifications for integral abutments.
