Kansas State University researchers are studying the effects of integral bridge expansion resulting from heat to make these types of bridges a more viable alternative. Dunja Peric, associate professor ...

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 ...

Geotechnical engineering, geotechnical centrifuge modeling, frozen soil behavior, computer modeling of particulate materials, soil-structure interaction and integral abutment bridge design. Predictive ...

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 ...
