SOLUTIONS TO STABILIZE THE GROUND BEHIND ABUTMENT BRIDGE WITH SEPARATE FUNCTIONS IN VIETNAM’S CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article presents a summary of the process of formation, development and application of abutments with separate functions in different countries including Russia in recent years. A case study to design a bridge abutment with separate functions by mechanically stabilized earth walls, check the overall displacement and stability of retaining wall structure by finite element program Plaxis 2D. Conclusions on the possibility of using bridge abutment with separate functions by mechanically stabilized earth walls in geological and climate condition of Vietnam.
