    • Abstract:
      Bridge approach pavement settlement and the resulting formation of ‘bumps’ at the end

      of bridges is a recurring problem on a number of Iowa bridges. One of the contributing

      factors in this settlement is failure of the bridge paving notch. A paving notch (also

      known as a corbel or a paving support) consists of a horizontal shelf constructed on the

      rear of a bridge abutment and is used to support the adjacent roadway pavement. Over

      time, these paving notches have been observed to deteriorate/fail due to a number of

      conditions including horizontal abutment movement due to seasonal temperature

      changes, loss of backfill materials by erosion, inadequate construction practices,

      foundation soil settlement, heavy traffic loads, salt brine that leaks through the expansion

      joint, and an open expansion joint that tends to fill with dirt and debris and ‘push’ the

      approach pavement off the paving notch. In some cases, the condition of the paving

      notch deterioration may not be noticed until the deterioration reaches a critical state and

      the approach pavement is removed.
