Integral bridge abutments in response to seasonal temperature changes: State of knowledge and recent advances

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 horizontal earth pressures behind the abutments and inducing bending moments on pile foundations. This paper presents th...
