Evaluation of Passive Force on Skewed Bridge Abutments with Large-Scale Tests

Evaluation of Passive Force on Skewed Bridge Abutments with Large-Scale Tests

Accounting for seismic forces and thermal expansion in bridge design requires an accurate passive force versus backwall deflection relationship. Current design codes make no allowances for skew effects on the development of the passive force. However, small-scale experimental results and available n...
