Two types of connection between the abutment and CFT pile were proposed for the sub-structure of the integral abutment bridge. One was a bolt connection (Type-A) and the other was a hook connection (Type-B). To analyze the performance of connection Type-A and Type-B, a quasi-static experiment was carried out. According to experimental results, the destruction occurred at the connection point and so both type A and type B need to have a reinforced design as the link between the abutment and CFT pile. However, when the load resistance performance and energy dissipation capacity was analyzed, the performance of connection Type-B was superior to the performance of connection Type-A.
