Abstract:The Southern Plains Transportation Center (SPTC) is a consortium of eight universities in U.S. Department of Transportation Region VI: the University of Oklahoma, Oklahoma State University, Langston University, University of Arkansas, University of New Mexico, Louisiana Tech University, University of Texas at El Paso and Texas Tech University. Current SPTC-sponsored research uses data collected from an instrumented integral abutment bridge (IAB) and computer models to develop readily implementable design and construction guidelines for bridges of this type. This research is particularly important for IABs subject to extremes in temperature and soil moisture content. The work builds on several years of collaboration between researchers at the University of Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Department of Transportation to improve analysis and design of IABs that will lead to enhanced bridge performance and safety while reducing maintenance costs.
