Abstract:In integral abutment bridges clamped abutment piles are in addition to a compressive normal force subjected to bending load cycles from daily and yearly temperature variations. Through experiments with full-scale specimens representing a clamped pile it is shown that a steel pipe pile loaded in bending can withstand several hundred load cycles at strain ranges greater than 6 times the yield strain with almost full load bearing capacity. By means of an example it is shown that by permitting pile strains greater… Show more
