桥台（Abutment） brief introduction Abutments [abutment] refer to structures that support the superstructure at the ends of the bridge and are connected to the subgrade and bear the lateral pressure on the fill of the bridge. Its function is to transfer the load from the superstructure of the bridge to the foundation. The utility model also has the function of stabilizing the embankment at the bridge head and stabilizing the bridge head line and the bridge line by resisting the filling pressure of the abutment and stabilizing the bridge head subgrade. The abutment is usually made of stone or plain concrete, while the light abutment adopts reinforced concrete structure. The support structure in the hole Jinduan between bridge and embankment or bridge at the junction of the shore. It acts as a support for the superstructure and connecting the two sides of the road as well as retaining the earth behind the abutment. Abutment has various forms, mainly divided into gravity abutment, light abutment, frame type abutment, composite abutment, abutment and so on. First, gravity abutment 1 and gravity abutment type: gravity abutment according to bridge span, abutment height and terrain conditions are different, there are many forms. The commonly used types are U type abutment, embedded abutment, eight character type and one word abutment. Gravity abutment on the railway bridge, there are T shaped abutment, cross shaped abutment and other types. 2, U shaped abutment: U shaped abutment consists of abutment body (front wall), abutment cap, foundation and wing wall on both sides. It is U in plane. U abutment foundation has the advantages of simple structure, large bearing surface, less stress, but for large volume, easy to fill abutment in ice water, frost heaving, cracks the abutment structure. Two, buried abutment abutment body buried in the front of the slip slope, without wing wall, only by the cap on both ends of the ear wall and the development of cohesion. Fig. 15-2a is an upri
