Synthesis on Faulted Pavements at Bridge Abutments

G. Hearn

This synthesis includes a review of the causes of settlement-related problems in bridges, a review of methods for mitigation, a compilation and analysis of data on bridge settlements, an assessment of methods for the prediction of settlements, a proposal for a method of estimating differential settlements based on the variability in total settlement, an examination of spatial correlation in settlements, and a review of plastic rotation capacity in steel beams and its use in design of bridge beams to tolerate relatively large settlements.
