Abstract:
Research purposes: Semi-integral abutment jointless bridge (SAJB) is a new type of bridge structure. Due to the rigid connection of main girder and abutment, the main girder will induce the bridge abutment to undergo reciprocating displacement along the longitudinal bridge direction, which results the changes of soil resistance behind the abutment under the long-term effects of diurnal and seasonal ambient temperature. In order to study the distribution law of the soil resistance behind the abutment and the influence of the medium long-term ambient temperature on it, a quasi-static test of the semi-integral abutment-soil interaction was carried out under medium and long-term ambient temperature. Research conclusions:(1) The soil resistance with the ambient temperature rises rapidly in the 1st to 6th middle period (the first warming interval from spring to summer), then decrease in the 6th to 16th middle period (the period from summer to summer). In the 16th to 20th middle period (the second warming interval from winter to spring), it starts to increase again, but the increase rate is slightly slow compared to the first warming interval. (2) The soil resistance along the buried depth increases firstly until reaching the maximum at the buried depth of 0.8h, and then decreases under the medium long-term ambient temperature. (3) The law of soil resistance along longitudinal direction in each period is that in the area near the abutment, the soil resistance decreases rapidly; while in the area far away from the abutment, the soil resistance decreases slowly to 0 at the position 1.0h away from the abutment. (4) After a large period of ambient temperature, the soil resistance behind the abutment has a significant cumulative increasing effect, and its cumulative effect has a strong correlation with the longitudinal position and vertical depth of the soil. (5) The research results can provide references for the design of semi-integral bridges and the formulation of related specifications. © 2022, Editorial Department of Journal of Railway Engineering Society.
