The Review about a New Type of Bridge Structure — Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

It was well known that expansion joint of a bridge was a weak part of structure, it led to early structure destroy and reduced the bridge life. Basing on Life-Cycle Design of bridge structure , a new type of optimum bridge structure --- Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge was put forward. Firstly the new bridge structure was defined and its performance was described. Then several problems that included temperature effect, the interaction of structure-soil etc were discussed about the application of the new bridge structure. Finally the conclusion is the Semi–Integral Abutment Jointless Bridge is a kind of durable bridge structure that has rational mechanical performance and great practical value.
