Abstract:
The integral abutment jointless bridge (IAJB) has a long service life, convenient construction, and less building and maintenance costs. For these advantages, the IAJB has been widely used in foreign and domestic practical engineering. However, reciprocating displacement of the IAJB occurs under seasonal temperature loads, and the abutment-pile-soil interaction is produced. Thus, an abutment-pile structural test model was designed and manufactured based on Fujian Shangban Bridge. Using the model, the reciprocating low-cycle pseudo-static test was carried out for the integral abutment-H-shaped steel pile-soil interaction. The hysteretic behavior, lateral deformation law, and interactive mechanism of integral abutment-pile-soil were studied. The results indicate that the equivalent damping ratio of abutment and pile is more than 0.15, suggesting that the IAJB has a favorable seismic performance. The pile of an IAJB is in the elastic stage under the local temperature effect; however, it carries a residual deformation. The cavitation of soil for a range of widths and depths of the pile head/abutment bottom, and void phenomenon of backfill at abutment can be observed. The cause of bumps at the bridge ends and the settlement under approach slab not only relate to the backfill properties of abutment but also to the behavioral mechanism of the abutment structure and soil. In addition, when simply measured and analyzed, the deformation over the surface of the pile cannot accurately demonstrate the distribution of lateral deformation. The accumulative deformation of the abutment-pile-soil interaction was examined, and it is determined that the accumulative deformation on the pile is larger than that of the abutment. Moreover, the overall accumulative deformation is larger than that produced by the individual load steps. Presently, the existing theory for calculating the lateral deformation of abutment-pile foundation does not take into account the impact of accumulative deformation. Thus, this study may serve as a reference for the relevant construction codes. © 2019, Editorial Department of China Journal of Highway and Transport. All right reserved.
