The book presents the Behavior of Integral Abutment Bridges under different Pile Head Connections. The influence on the design parameters such as bending moment, shear force and longitudinal stresses in deck slab have been considered. The study demonstrates that the design parameters are affected by the pile head to abutment connection. In addition, the results of DL (Dead Load) + Temperature and DL (Dead Load) + LL (Live Load) + Temperature combination with varying span numbers have been compared with single span and with DL (Dead Load). The effect on interior and exterior girder has also been studied. An interesting outcome of the study is an inversely proportional relation between the number of spans and the design parameters.The increase in temperature tends to enhance negative BM and decreases positive BM.
