Abstract:

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has increasingly constructed integral abutment bridges (IABs)

over the past few decades, similar to those in many other states. Because the length and skew limitations

currently employed by IDOT have not necessarily been based on rigorous engineering analyses, an extensive 3-

D parametric study has been performed, complemented by installation of field monitoring equipment on two

recently constructed bridges, to potentially expand the use of IABs in Illinois. Some notable findings from this

study include: (1) IAB configuration with extreme skew (> 60°) can perform well with proper detailing; (2) H-pile

webs oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bridge, regardless of skew, substantially reduces weak-axis

bending; (3) compacted backfill reduces pile stresses; (4) live loads affect thermally induced pile stresses; (5)

longer intermediate spans tend to increase pile stresses; and (6) time-dependent behaviors, such as concrete

shrinkage, may significantly influence maximum pile stresses. Based on these findings, a more rigorously

developed set of recommendations for maximum IAB lengths and skews in Illinois are proposed.
