Most conventional bridges possess expansion joints and bearings, which are expensive in terms of material and installation costs. Furthermore, expansion joints may allow water, salt, and deicing chemicals to penetrate them, causing extensive deterioration to the bearings, substructure, and superstructure. The lack of expansion joints in integral bridges results in reduced repair and maintenance costs throughout the service life of the bridge. In addition, when used as part of highways or railways, integral bridges enhance the riding comfort due to lack of expansion joints and provide better lateral rigidity to breaking loads, minimizing the likelihood of rail buckling in continuous railway construction due to the smaller lateral displacement of the bridge. Moreover, modern integral bridges are known to have performed well in recent earthquakes due to their monolithic construction.

Reduced Order Modeling of Bolted Joints in Frequency Domain
Karapıstık, Gökhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2019-01-31)
Most of the structural systems assembled by using bolted joints. Therefore, bolted joint models have a critical importance to estimate the behavior of the overall assembled system. There are several linear bolted joint models which consist of spring and dashpot elements in literature. While they can estimate the resonant frequency of the overall system with a sufficient accuracy, linear bolted joint models are inadequate for approximating the damping which arises from the friction in the contact interface o...
Nonlinear reduced order modeling of bolted joints

Critical Truck Loading Pattern to Maximize Live Load Effects in Skewed Integral Bridges
Dicleli, Murat (2014-05-01)
An integral bridge (TB) is one in which the abutments are cast monolithically with the deck to form a rigid frame structure. When the geometry and conditions do not allow for designing straight IBs, skewed IBs (SIBs) are designed. Current bridge design specifications are mainly developed for regular jointed bridges. Thus, provisions for SIBs have not been included in these specifications yet. Consequently, to determine live load effects in SIB components, many practicing engineers built a three-dimensional ...
Cost optimum design of reinforced concrete bridge piers for standard highway bridges
Orak, Celil; Binici, Barış; Department of Civil Engineering (2022-2)
Bridges are among the most important cost items of transportation projects in Turkey and in the world. In bridge engineering, superstructures are designed with optimization through years of experience. However, the same is not true for infrastructre elements such as piers. The evaluation of the bridge piers,built in Turkey and around the world, considering structural design shows that they are "overdesign" elements suitable for optimization. The ratio of the cost of the piers to the total bridge cost is aro...
Comparative assessment of the efficiency of seismic isolation for seismic retrofitting of highway bridges in regions of low-to-moderate seismicity
Karalar, Memduh; Dicleli, Murat (null; 2019-07-06)
In this paper, the economical and structural efficiency of friction pendulum bearings (FPB) for retrofitting typical seismically vulnerable bridges in the State of Illinois is studied. For this purpose, a bridge was selected by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) to represent typical seismically vulnerable bridges commonly used in the State of Illinois. A comprehensive structural model of the bridge was first constructed for seismic analysis. An iterative multi-mode response spectrum (MMRS) ana...
