Optimization of Bridge Approach Slab
… practice for design and construction of Bridge Approach Slab (BAS). The objective of this thesis is to explore the usage of alternate innovative structural solution for Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), simple to implement in the field and to reduce the cost of construction when a …

Bridge approach slab analysis and design incorporating elastic soil support
… necessary for the analysis of finite bridge approach slabs (BAS) on elastic soil support is reported in this thesis. Results are compared for moments and shear forces governing the design for a wide range of values of soil elastic modulus ranging from dense sand to very loose sand. Results …

Assessment of structural concrete approach slab cracking at integral abutment bridges
… of expansion joints between the bridge deck and approach slabs in an integral abutment bridge (IAB) decreases the potential for water and salt damage to the bridge superstructure and bearings. However, the lack of expansion joints in an IAB can lead to complex interactions between the …

Field monitoring of integral abutment bridge approach slabs
… costs and longer service life. Cracking of approach slabs immediately adjacent to IABs, which requires maintenance, repair, and even premature replacement, has been observed recently at a number of IABs in Illinois. Agency survey across the U.S. indicates that other states have also observed …

Crack detection technique for reinforced concrete bridge decks
… of the joint between the concrete deck and the approach slab. (Abstract shortened by UMI.).

Field monitoring and numerical analysis of two Illinois integral abutment bridges
… bridge movements, ii) pile, deck, girder, and approach slab strains, and iii) rotations at different abutment interfaces. Field monitoring results corroborate that IAB longitudinal expansion and contraction is somewhat less than theoretical free expansion and contraction, and is influenced by …
