Optimization of Bridge Approach Slab
… its own 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 …

Bridge approach slab analysis and design incorporating elastic soil support
… equations 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. …

Field monitoring of integral abutment bridge approach slabs
Integral abutment bridges (IABs) eliminate the joints between the deck and abutments and hence have become more prevalent in the U.S. due to lower maintenance costs and longer service life. Cracking of approach slabs immediately adjacent to IABs, which requires maintenance, repair, and even …

Assessment of structural concrete approach slab cracking at integral abutment bridges
The elimination 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 …
