Integral bridges become more popular among world. In conventional construction of bridges, the superstructure consists of a series of simply supported spans separated by expansion joints and resting on bearings at the abutments and intermediate piers. During service life of bridges, these joints and bearings become critical places for accumulation of debris and deicing chemicals, there by deteriorating concrete and corroding steel reinforcements that lead to high maintenance cost. Bearing needs periodic replacement result in high maintenance cost. Hence, to overcome this problem integral bridge is recommended which have monolithic connection between girder and pier cap to eliminate bearings and expansion joints. Maintenance cost of integral bridge is very less. The reviewed literature shows different aspect for behavior of Integral Bridge.
