    Bridge abutment wing walls can fail in several ways: through tensile cracks, crushing or shear in the breast wall; by tilting forward from excessive overturning moment due to earth pressure; by sliding forward if vertical forces are inadequate; or along a curved surface if the soil lacks sufficient shear resistance.

    Wing walls

    Failure of bridge
    abutments

    The breast (stem) wall may fail by tensile


    cracks, crushing or shear;
    The wall may tilt forward due to excessive
    overturning moment due to earth pressure;
    The wall may slide forward due to earth
    pressure
    if
    the
    vertical
    forces
    are
    inadequate;
    Failures may occur along a curved surface
    by rupture of the soil due to inadequate
    shear resistance.
