title = "Behavior of prestressed concrete piles supporting integral abutments",
abstract = "The feasibility of using prestressed concrete piles in the integral abutement bridges designed as per Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) was discussed. TDOT's criteria for maximum bridge length permitted a longitudinal movement due to temperature change of 25.4 mm in each direction at each abutement. It was observed that the prestressing force in a pile effectively closed the crack when the induced displacement was near to zero. The analysis show that the TDOT criteria for the design of integral abutement bridges were reasonable and conservative.",
