One of the most commonly discussed problems regarding bridges with integral abutments is the influence of longitudinal elongation of the superstructure as a result of seasonal temperature variations. A bridge built with integral abutments is often supported by a row of piles made of steel or concrete. The longitudinal elongation of the superstructure induces a displacement and a rotation at the...

Nowadays, vehicle-induced vibration is a subject matter interest in the bridge monitoring field. As compared to other types of excitation such as earthquake and accidental impact, the vehicle-induced vibration is often being less considered during the design process of the bridge. The newly implementedcode also does not emphasize on the vibration check for vehicular bridge and requires the engi...

Track–bridge interaction (TBI) is an increasingly essential consideration for the design and operation of railway bridges, especially innovative bridge structure systems that constantly spring up over years. This paper focuses on characteristics additional forces in continuous welded rails (CWRs) 3 × 70 m integral rigid-frame Fuzhou–Xiamen High-Speed Railway, which a novel high-speed (HSR) syst...
