Abstract:
Integral Bridges are the joint less continuous bridges without any expansion joint and bearings. The monolithic construction eliminates the weak links like expansion joints and bearings. However due to continuity, additional stresses and moments due to temperature, braking forces and earth pressure are observed in superstructure. These effects adds up to the complexity in design. In this paper, the design moments for the different components of superstructure are compared for both types of bridges. However design has been carried out for superstructure according to working stress design philosophy, and the reinforcement area is also compared for both type of bridges. Analysis and design has been carried out for one span, two span and three span bridges of both type.
