A numerical and experimental study on crack propagation of the abutment back wall – unified wing wall under incremental load

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Conference contribution › peer-review

Abstract

An abutment is a sub-structure that shall be designed as no damage to withstand all external loads. However, many abutments collapsed subjected to severe earthquakes. Besides, the pounding between superstructure and substructure has an impact on the performance of abutment. This research is focused on crack propagation of the abutment back wall-unified wing wall subjected to horizontal incremental load with numerical and experimental analysis. According to the analysis, the crack propagation phenomenon is similar which is developed near the connection between the abutment back wall and its support. Hence, further study is needed to evaluate the behavior of full type abutment subjected to liquefaction load.
