This paper presents an analytical investigation on the behavior of simple span integral abutment bridge. An integral abutment bridge is a simple span or multiple span continuous deck type bridge having the deck integral with the abutment wall. Although the temperature variation and earth pressure are the major attributor to the total stress in integral abutment bridge, the superstructure has been designed by modeling it as a simple or continuous beam In order to investigate the effect of temperature change and earth pressure on the superstructure of integral bridge, the simple span integral bridge is modeled as a plane frame element. Performing frame analysis, the variations of bending moment and axial force of superstructure due to the various loading combination are investigated with respect to the flexural rigidity of piles, and the bending moment and axial force obtained by frame analysis are compared with the maximum bending moment obtained by conventional design method and initial prestressing force respectively.

An integral abutment bridge refers to a jointless bridge with capped-pile stub type abutment. It has been used for more than 50 years in the United States and Canada. This paper briefly describes design and utilization of the PC beam integral abutment bridge which is adapted for Korea and shows its excellent performance compared with that of a jointed bridge. This study introduces the characteristics of structural behaviors of the integral bridge and also mentions about its attributes and limitations.

One solution to prevent deterioration due to expansion joint and to extend lifetime of short span bridges, is jointless integral abutment bridge. To understand behavior of pile foundation of skewed plate girder bridge with integral abutment, finite element analysis was performed for the model of different skew angle from 90。 to 50。. Comparison of stresses at pile and abutment was made for each case. It is found that effect of temperature change is major factor to influence the behavior of skewed integral abutment bridge.

In this paper, a simplified structural spring model of integral abutment bridge is proposed to account for the passive earth pressure due to the change of temperature. The magnitude of earth pressure acting on integral bridge abutment mainly depends on the amount and shape of displacement of abutment according to the thermal expansion of superstructure. The proposed simplified model is developed based on the possible displacement shape of integral abutment bridge. Performing the direct stiffness method, the analysis is done by using the proposed method and the results of new model is compared with those of conventional design approach. The study show that it may be possible to obtain more rational and economical design values for integral abutment bridge by applying the proposed design method.

This paper presents a parametric study on the behavior of integral abutment PSC beam bridge. An integral abutment bridge is a simple span or multiple span continuous deck type bridge having the deck integral with the abutment wall. The rational structural model and design load combinations accounting for each construction stage are proposed. It can be used for defining the effect of earth pressure and temperature change in the design process including for determining maximum flexural responses. The bending moment at each response location due to the design load combination is investigated according to the change of flexural rigidity of piles and abutment height. The flexural responses of proposed model are computed for the cases of applying the Rankine passive earth pressure and the earth pressure based on the soil-structure interaction respectively, and the results are discussed.

Contrast to the conventional jointed bridge design, integral abutment bridges (IABs) offer some marked advantages like reduced maintenance and enhanced service life of the structure due to elimination of joints in the deck and monolithic construction practices. However, the force transfer mechanism during seismic and thermal movements is a topic of interest owing to rigid connection between superstructure and substructure (piers and abutments). This study attempts to model an existing IAB by including the abutment backfill interaction and soil-foundation interaction effects using Winkler foundation assumption to determine its seismic response. Keeping in view the significance of abutment behavior in an IAB, the probability of damage to the abutment is evaluated using fragility function. Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA) approach is used in this regard, wherein, nonlinear time history analyses are conducted on the numerical model using a selected suite of ground motions with increasing intensities until damage to abutment. It is concluded from the fragility analysis results that for a MCE level earthquake in the location of integral bridge, the probability of complete damage to the abutment is minimal.

이 연구는 교량의 생애 동안의 온도 변화와 콘크리트의 시간 의존 영향을 고려하여 PSC 거더 일체식 교량의 해석 방법과 교대의 변위를 예측하는 모델 개발에 관한 것이다. 비선형 수치 해석 모델은 지반-구조물의 상호작용을 고려하며, 재료의 비선형 또한 고려되었다. 개발된 수치 해석 모델을 이용하여 총 243가지의 경우에 대하여 변수 연구를 하였다. 고려된 변수는 (1) 열팽창 계수, (2) 교량 길이, (3) 뒤채움재의 높이, (4) 뒤채움재의 강성, 그리고 (5) 말뚝-지반 강성이다. 변수 연구의 결과는 열팽창 계수, 교량 길이, 말뚝-지반의 강성이 지배적인 영향을 나타내는 것으로 드러났다. 또한, 교량의 길이는 교대의 윗부분의 변위에 지배적인 영향을 미치며 자유팽창 수축과 유사하였다. 하부의 변위에는 다른 변수들의 영향으로 추정이 쉽지 않았다. 개발된 교대의 변위 추정 모델은 기본 설계시에 사용될 수 있을 것이다.

Prediction of prestressed concrete girder integral abutment bridge (IAB) load effect requires understanding of the inherent uncertainties as it relates to thermal loading, time-dependent effects, bridge material properties and soil properties. In addition, complex inelastic and hysteretic behavior must be considered over an extended, 75-year bridge life. The present study establishes IAB displacement and internal force statistics based on available material property and soil property statistical models and Monte Carlo simulations. Numerical models within the simulation were developed to evaluate the 75-year bridge displacements and internal forces based on 2D numerical models that were calibrated against four field monitored IABs. The considered input uncertainties include both resistance and load variables. Material variables are: (1) concrete elastic modulus; (2) backfill stiffness; and (3) lateral pile soil stiffness. Thermal, time dependent, and soil loading variables are: (1) superstructure temperature fluctuation; (2) superstructure concrete thermal expansion coefficient; (3) superstructure temperature gradient; (4) concrete creep and shrinkage; (5) bridge construction timeline; and (6) backfill pressure on backwall and abutment. IAB displacement and internal force statistics were established for: (1) bridge axial force; (2) bridge bending moment; (3) pile lateral force; (4) pile moment; (5) pile head/abutment displacement; (6) compressive stress at the top fiber at the mid-span of the exterior span; and (7) tensile stress at the bottom fiber at the mid-span of the exterior span. These established IAB displacement and internal force statistics provide a basis for future reliability-based design criteria development.

교대구조물에서는 교대 배면의 성토체 축조로 인한 수평방향응력의 증가로 인한 측방유동문제 및 구조물에 작용하는 온도하중 등의 영향으로 인해 접속슬래브, 거더, 베어링등의 파손이 빈번히 발생되고 있는 실정이다. 이에 대한 대책공법으로 보강토 일체형 교대(GRS (Geosynthetic-Reinforced Soil) integral bridge)가 제안되었다. 보강토 일체형 교대는 GRS 보강토 옹벽과 일체형 교대의 구조형식을 혼합한 형태의 구조물이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 PSC 거더교, 기존 보강토 일체형 교대 및 브라켓형 보강토 일체형 교대(새롭게 개발된 LH형 GRS 보강토 교대)의 시공순서와 지진하중조건을 고려하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 브라켓형 보강토 일체형 교대가 다른 구조물에 비해 응력집중과 교대·뒷채움간 부등침하 영향에 의한 기초지반의 변형에 대해 가장 유리한 것으로 파악되었다. 더 나아가 GRS 보강토 일체형 교대(브라켓형 포함) 구조물은 내진안정성에서도 가장 안정한 것으로 파악되었다.

Reliability-based design limit states and associated partial load factors provide a consistent level of design safety across bridge types and members. However, limit states in the current AASHTO LRFD have not been developed explicitly for the situation encountered by integral abutment bridges (IABs) that have unique boundary conditions and loads with inherent uncertainties. Therefore, new reliability-based limit states for IABs considering the variability of the abutment support conditions and thermal loading must be developed to achieve IAB designs that achieve the same safety level as other bridge designs. Prestressed concrete girder bridges are considered in this study and are subjected to concrete time-dependent effects (creep and shrinkage), backfill pressure, temperature fluctuation and temperature gradient. Based on the previously established database for bridge loads and resistances, reliability analyses are performed. The IAB limit states proposed herein are intended to supplement current AASHTO LRFD limit states as specified in AASHTO LRFD Table 3.4.1-1.
