This book was released on 2005 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this research is to expand the use of pile-supported integral abutment bridges bearing on bedrock at sites where the depth to bedrock is considered shallow, less than 4m (13 ft) from the ground surface. The objective of Phase II of this two-part research project is to finalize the design and construction guidelines by incorporating the performance of a constructed, skewed integral abutment bridge on shallow bedrock into the guidelines. Part (a) of Phase II (this report) includes instrumentation installation, construction monitoring, and full-scale live load testing on the Nash Stream Bridge in Coplin Plantation, ME.
