ANALYSIS OF INTEGRAL BRIDGE FOR DEAD LOAD AND MOVING LOADS

M.P.Bastwadkar, S.S.Manekari

Abstract: The construction of Integral Bridges is rapidly growing throughout the world. This is mainly due to elimination of problematic and expensive expansion joints. In the Integral Bridge the abutments are monolithically connected with superstructure and for the piers a monolithic or simply supported connection is made with the superstructure . In this study the behavior of Integral Bridge of three different spans are studied by finite-element analyses under dead load, Moving loads(IRC vehicle load) . Results showed that two span Integral Bridge is suitable in structural ,economy and construction point of view
