ABC/PBES C ONNECTIONS D R. B ENJAMIN G RAYBEAL Address
field-cast connection shortcomings by recommending best practices
based on quantitative physical testing Wide ranging laboratory
investigation Full-scale tests (box beams, deck-bulb-tees, etc.)
Subcomponent tests (deck panels, etc.) Mechanical tests (cubes,
prisms, etc.) Durability tests (F/T, etc.) Stability tests
(shrinkage)

a GRS-IBS can be in-service for more than 5 years without
developing a pavement crack at the abutment approach interface
Define the mechanics of passive earth pressure against a GRS
approach Determine thermally induced substructure/superstructure
interaction Apply the result of this work to the design of bridges
on integral abutments
