Integral bridges are a class of bridges with integral or semi-integral abutments, designed
without expansion joints in the bridge deck of the superstructure. The significance of an …

Bridges are one of the most critical parts of transportation networks that may suffer damages
against earthquakes. Also, seismic responses of most bridges are significantly influenced by …

This paper presents design recommendations for the maximum length of integral bridges
built on sand. The maximum length limits for integral bridges is determined as a function of …

This paper presents a study on the behavior of the abutment-backfill system under positive
thermal variation in integral bridges built on sand. A structural model of a typical integral …

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 …

A hybrid forecasting model that integrates ensemble empirical model decomposition
(EEMD), and extreme learning machine (ELM) for computer products sales is proposed. The …

In this study, the seismic performance of integral and conventional bridges is compared
particularly considering the differences at their abutments. For this purpose, three existing …

Soil-abutment or soil-pile interactions under cyclic static loads have been widely studied in
integral abutment jointless bridges (IAJBs). However, the IAJB has the combinational …

This paper presents the merits of a hybrid seismic isolation system used for the seismic
design of a major bridge. The bridge is analyzed for two different arrangements of seismic …

In this paper, performance of the abutment–backfill system under thermal variations is
studied. For this purpose, a structural model of a typical integral bridge is built considering …
