Type: dissertation
Abstract: Winner of the Competition “Prize for PhD Thesis 2023” arranged by Sapienza University Press. Integral abutment bridges are bridges characterised by a monolithic connection between the deck and the abutments. Therefore, their behaviour during a seismic event is controlled by the interaction of the entire structure with the surrounding soil, and markedly with the approach embankment. Despite becoming a popular design due to low maintenance requirements, seismic design procedures still face uncertainties due to limited understanding of the dynamic soil-structure response.
