Large-Scale Testing of Passive Force Behavior for Skewed Abutments with High Width-Height Ratios

Large-Scale Testing of Passive Force Behavior for Skewed Abutments with High Width-Height Ratios

The effects of seismic forces and thermal expansion on bridge performance necessitate an accurate understanding of the relationship between passive force and backwall deflection. In past case studies, skewed bridges exhibited significantly more damage than non-skewed bridges. These findings prompted...
