Fixed and free ends Abutment is a significant issue affecting the overall reliability and safety of a Bridge structure if not design and constructed as functioned. However, despite considerable consequences, potential functionalities of abutments in bridge structure are usually not fully considered and so abutments are generally designed as free end elements. The research presented in this paper, aimed to develop a better understanding of free and fixed ends abutment stability from both analysis and design point of view. This paper includes a case study of a Kwadon Liji Kurba bridge (GPS N10° 16.642ʹ E11° 13.520ʹ), located at Gombe-Biu road in Gombe, Gombe state Nigeria, which was shot down for traffic used due to abutment failure. This paper presents a full result on bridge abutments analysis and design. Moreover, a systematic methodology was implemented, to identify potential remedial options for treatment of abutment movement. Considering similar loading condition as exited bridge, analysis shows a moment maximum of the fixed abutment to be 1748.79kNm and minimum moment at fixed end to be 631.08kNm and the free end abutment has a maximum moment of 2059.02kNm. The moment is considerable large and will result to reinforcement design rather than just mass concrete abutment as in the existing bridge. The pressure exerted by the abutment was 422.35kNm 2 maximum and FS against sliding of 2.8. Unless the bearing pressure of the soil greater than that, earth movement is unavoidable and so pile foundation should be used instead of spread footing.
