Abstract
In this paper, a parametric study was conducted to investigate the effects of various geotechnical properties of the foundation soil on
the performance of IAB (Integral Abutment Bridge) subjected to temperature variations from -20OC to +40OC. These temperature
changes were applied throughout the bridge deck in longitudinal direction. The 3-Dimensional models were prepared using SAP
2000 a Finite Element based software for varying spans and supported on abutments which were connected to the piles. These piles
were embedded in the soil up to 40metre depth. The two categories of soils considered in current study were, homogeneous and
heterogeneous. Under homogenous, sand with varying angle of internal friction from 29 O to 35O and clay with varying consistency
from firm to very stiff were considered. Under heterogeneous, both sand & clay were considered with alternate strips of sand and
clay, with increasing stiffness at every 5metre strips. In the same way, clay & rock were also considered with alternate strips of clay
and rock with increasing stiffness at every 5metre strips. Behavior of Abutment and piles were studied for different configurations
.Analytical results were compared for various spans considered. i.e., 10m, 20m and 30m span of IAB.
Keywords: Integral Abutment Bridges, Soil Pile Interaction, IAB Behavior, Abutment Pile Interaction.

2. 3D FEM MODEL
The modeling of the structure is being done by Finite Element
software (SAP 2000 14.2.4). The concrete slab supported by
five concrete longitudinal girders and cross beams and
abutment, are modeled as shell elements. Seven concrete piles
with full fixity are connected to each abutment walls, allowing
full moment transfer are modeled as frame element having a
common node for pile and the abutment wall. The soil behind
abutment and around piles modeled as linear springs.

4. MODELING OF SOIL
The soil interacting with the foundation of the structure is
modeled by two types of Winkler springs;
Passive (kN/m)
400-600
800-1200
1600-2400
ki=(i-1)* *(h)2.
kn=1/6*(3n-4)* *(h)2.
Where k1 and kn are the spring constants at the top and bottom
most pointski, the spring constant at any division point iand
is the constant of sub grade reaction.

7. CONCLUSIONS
The stiffness of integral bridges with longer spans is more
effective in reducing the displacement of the pile at the pile
head connected to the abutment. Accordingly, greater
moments are induced on the pile head at a relatively smaller
displacement than that of the small span integral bridges
With the increase in temperature, the displacement at the pile
head increases. In order to control the thermal expansion and
