Abstract
Covers the design of integral highway bridges without expansion joints. Integral bridges are designed without any expansion joints between spans or between spans and abutments. Resistance to longitudinal thermal movements and braking loads is provided by the stiffness of the soil abutting the end supports and, in some cases by the stiffness of the intermediate supports. This Advice Note is applicable to bridges of steel, concrete and composite construction, including precast and prestressed concrete. The Advice Note describes the movements and loads which may be used in the design of integral bridges, and provides requirements for some design details.
