Explanation:
abutment = butée (Collins-Robert FR-EN/EN-FR Dictionary)
= culée (Lexique ferroviaire FR-AN/AN-FR)

I can't find "spill-through abutment" in FR though, but you can see photos of a bridge + spill-through abutment at :

Thanks Carole,

I know it is the way it works... I am waiting for points to answers I gave monthes ago. Anyway, I knew Abutment was Culée, I have eventually chosen Culée à pente régulière and Culée par palliers (in case you would like to know).

Regards,

Agnès
