Experimental and Analytical Investigations of Piles and Abutments of Integral Bridges
Bridges without expansion joints are called "integral bridges." Eliminating joints from bridges crates concerns for the piles and the abutments of integral bridges because the abutments and the piles are subjected to temperature-induced cyclic lateral loads. As temperatures change daily and …

IMPACT OF SOIL-STRUCTURE INTERACTION ON SEISMIC BEHAVIOUR OF INTEGRAL ABUTMENT BRIDGES
… the behaviour of infrastructure, such as integral bridges, during seismic loading will allow bridge and geotechnical engineers to design these bridges to operate safely during and after earthquake loading and, therefore, reduce the risk of loss of lives and infrastructure damage. …

Integral bridge abutment and backfill behaviour
Integral bridges do not contain the bearings or expansion joints found in conventional bridges. Interaction between the abutments and backfill due to thermal movements of the bridge deck leads to the accumulation of soil strain — known as strain ratcheting — which results in increased lateral earth …

Seismic Performance of Bridge Column-Pile-Shaft Pin Connections for Application in Accelerated Bridge Construction
Bridges with integral superstructures are common in high-seismic regions. The superstructure and substructure are connected using rigid connections in these bridges. However, hinge or "pin" connections may be used to connect columns to pile-shafts to reduce the overall force demand in the integral …
