Theses and Dissertations
The required time for building bridge abutments is one of the key obstacles facing rapid bridge construction. For typical span bridges, this can be remedied by using Controlled Low Strength Materials (CLSM) as backfill materials placed behind full-height precast concrete panels that are integrated with the CLSM backfill via steel anchors. CLSM bridge abutments can be constructed in a short time as they do not require heavy machinery for excavation, compaction, and piling equipment. The main objective of this study was to examine the behavior of an instrumented laboratory large-scale CLSM bridge abutment with full-height precast concrete panels that was …
