Abstract
Introduces concepts relating to 'integral bridges' and illustrates ways in which the ordinary composite beam-and-slab deck bridge can be adapted to become an integral bridge. Also, the opportunity to use steel in place of reinforced concrete for the supports is explored. Steel piles offer a degree of flexibility at supports that is particularly suited to the movements that occur in an integrated structure; guidance is included to facilitate the consideration of steel piled substructures.
