A Study on Utilization and Application of Integral Abutment PC Beam Bridge
PC Beam을 이용한 일체식교대 교량의 실용화 연구
Abstract
An integral abutment bridge refers to a jointless bridge with capped-pile stub type abutment. It has been used for more than 50 years in the United States and Canada. This paper briefly describes design and utilization of the PC beam integral abutment bridge which is adapted for Korea and shows its excellent performance compared with that of a jointed bridge. This study introduces the characteristics of structural behaviors of the integral bridge and also mentions about its attributes and limitations.
