Integral abutment bridges, Finite element modeling of structures, and the study of the behavior of bridges through data collection and data analysis. Susan Faraji, Ph.D., has four decades of teaching, ...
Integral abutment bridges present a modern, jointless design approach where the bridge superstructure and abutments form a continuous, monolithic system. This design eliminates the traditional ...
Aging infrastructure is a major issue in the U.S. with nearly 50 percent of bridges considered in poor condition—nearly 12 percent are over 80 years old; 42 percent are over 50. Many have high volumes ...
Integral Abutment Bridges (IABs) are single or multiple span continuous deck bridges. Instead of movable expansion joints between spans and bearings at the abutments, IABs have continuous decks and ...
