Integral bridges have been proposed as a jointless design alternative to the traditional
counterparts, possessing copious potential economic and structural advantages. However …

This paper presents the results of finite element parametric study on the performance of pile-
supported embankment system built over soft soil utilizing geosynthetic-reinforced load …

Expansion and contraction of integral abutment bridges due to temperature changes force
integral bridge abutments (IBAs) to move toward and away from the backfill, thus increasing …

The construction of integral bridges is one of the most effective methods to reduce bridges'
construction and in-service costs. However, there are associated geotechnical problems …

Most ancient and historical buildings are masonry structures. One of the innovative methods
to enhance masonry structures is the steel-reinforced grout (SRG) with ultra-high tensile …

This paper presents a two-dimensional Finite Element (FE) simulation of the interaction
between a semi-integral stub-type concrete bridge abutment and a granular backfill under …

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the benefits of adding tire rubber as an
inclusion to backfill behind integral bridge abutments. In this respect, four physical model …

Abutment walls in integral abutment bridges (IABs) move in a cyclic pattern in response to
temperature-induced expansion and/or contraction of the bridge superstructure. The …

Abstract Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are constructed without expansion joints and
bearings, connecting the bridge deck monolithically to the end abutments. Therefore, the …

One of the most effective ways to increase the longevity of pavement structures is through
the integration of geosynthetic reinforcement. Geosynthetics are synthetic materials such as …
