“…This detail is common in several European countries [4], [5]. In other countries, and in several US states in particular, the traffic rides directly on the concrete surface of the bridge, and the transition slab is horizontal, the continuation of the surface of the deck, with a construction detail between its end and the pavement over the embankment (again, some kind of joint) [21], [22].…”

“…This can be somewhat misleading because if there is no joint in the bridge itself, there can be joints at other locations, e.g. at either end of the surface transition slab, as already mentioned [17], [21], [22].…”

This paper presents the results of an experimental test series carried out to investigate the soil‐structure‐pavement interaction in the vicinity of the transition slab at the end of an integral bridge. The main function of transition slabs is to ease the transition between the bridge deck and the embankment in the case of differential settlement. Additionally, in the case of integral bridges, transition slabs can solve the problem of moderate imposed longitudinal deformations at the bridge ends. In this case the displacements imposed on the transition slab can lead to vertical and longitudinal surface displacements and to cracking of the pavement. Based on the observed behaviour, some recommendations are proposed for the geometry and surface conditions in order to optimize the behaviour of transition slabs.

“…Entre estos trabajos destacan el de Inaudi [48] y Hedegaard et al [50,51] porque proveen una amplia y detallada descripción de la instrumentación en el nuevo puente "I-35W St. Anthony Falls Bridge" en Minnesota, un puente de gran interés público luego del colapso del antiguo puente "I35W". Adicionalmente, otros autores han estudiado los efectos de las acciones térmicas en puentes de hormigón [52][53][54] y otros que publicaron resultados que muestran la influencia de los movimientos térmicos en estribos de puentes integrales [55][56][57][58][59].…”

“…Sin embargo, la mayoría de la información disponible corresponde a puentes de hormigón con secciones transversales tipo cajón [49- 51,59], secciones cajón mixtas [47,48], puentes de vigas de hormigón prefabricadas [53,55,56,58,60], o puentes de vigas metálicas con losa de hormigón [40,57]. En esta tesis se presentan resultados obtenidos en una losa de hormigón pretensado [61], puente localizado en la provincia de Ávila en España, con datos recolectados desde el año 2008.…”
