- Abstract
The paper presents a comparative study of two types of integral abutment bridges having fixed pile head and pinned pile head connection with abutment. The variations in main design parameters like bending moment, shear force and longitudinal stresses in deck slab are also studied. It is found that in integral abutment bridge, the design parameters are affected by the pile head to abutment connection. In the case of only Dead Load (DL), the negative maximum end Bending Moment (BM) reduced by 10.5% in the case of single span, 28.5% in two spans integral abutment bridge, and no change in three spans integral abutment bridge. However, the positive BM showed an increasing trend. It is also observed that all the design parameters are reduced with increase in span numbers. On the other hand, the temperature rise enhances negative BM and decreases positive BM. Furthermore, SF in deck slab increased by 5.9% in two spans integral abutment bridge having pile head with pinned connection, but there is no change in SF in single and three spans. In addition, the results of DL + temperature and DL + (Live Load) LL+ temperature combination with different spans were compared with single span and with DL.
