Large-Scale Testing of Passive Force Behavior for Skewed Bridge Abutments with Gravel and Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil (GRS) Backfills
Correct understanding of passive force behavior is particularly key to lateral evaluations of bridges because plastic deformation of soil backfill is vital to dissipation of earthquake energy and thermally-induced stresses in abutments. Only recently have studies investigated the effects of skew on...
