MIDAS Expert Webinar Redefining Flexibility and Rigidity of Fully and Semi Integral Abutments
This webinar focuses on the essential role of abutments in bridge construction, particularly the increasing popularity of integral bridges without joints. It addresses the current limitations in the design of these structures due to vague definitions in the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC), proposes new definitions to enhance engineering practices, and explores innovative approaches to optimize the structural behavior and cost-effectiveness of bridges by considering soil-structure interaction (SSI).
