            | Abstract |  
            | A sandpile configuration is a representation of the current layout of theoretical sand
 on a graph in which every vertex is assigned a nonnegative integer value. The Abelian
 sandpile group is a finite group composed of the recurrent sandpile configurations of a
 graph. We investigate the sandpile group of graphs constructed using the composition
 rules of series-parallel graphs, and determine the sandpile groups of parallel
 compositions of path-graphs.
