Integral bridges have been proposed as a jointless design alternative to the traditional counterparts, possessing copious potential economic and structural advantages. However …
In recent years there has been renewed interest on integral abutment bridges (IABs), mainly due to their low construction and maintenance cost. Owing to the monolithic connection …
The seismic performance of integral abutment bridges (IABs) is affected by the interaction with the surrounding soil, and specifically by the development of interaction forces in the …

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 …
Abstract Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are increasingly popular due to their reduced maintenance cost compared to traditional bridges with expansion joints. However, the …
This study focuses on the investigation of the factors that have limited, so far, the development of a consistent design and assessment approach for integral bridges (IBs) …
In this article, different frequently adopted modeling aspects of linear and nonlinear dynamic soil-structure interaction (SSI) are studied on a pile-supported integral abutment bridge …
