| | Summary: |
| | The design and construction of sustainable and durable bridges with low maintenance costs is one of the European Road and Railway Administration tasks. The structures must be safe, economical and with good serviceability issues. All these needs can be found in integral abutment bridges. This solution, by eliminating the bearing and expansion joints, leads to low production and maintenance costs. Integral bridges have a good earthquake resistance. The main topics of the paper are the following: design of integral bridges and innovative composite dowels for the shear transmission. |
