Experimental and Numerical Investigations of Flat Approach Slab–Soil Interaction in Jointless Bridge

In jointless bridges, a grade flat approach slab (GFAS) with the same elevation as the pavement can transfer the girder’s longitudinal deformation to the backfill. However, any cracks and settlement of the pavement usually occur at the end of the GFAS. To address this shortcoming, the buried flat ap...
