Passive Force on Skewed Abutments with Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wingwalls Based on Large-Scale Tests

Passive Force on Skewed Abutments with Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) Wingwalls Based on Large-Scale Tests

Passive force-deflection behavior for densely compacted backfills must be considered in bridge design to ensure adequate resistance to both seismic and thermally induced forces. Current codes and practices do not distinguish between skewed and non-skewed bridge abutment geometries; however, in recen...
