There is growing worldwide interest in designing joint-free bridge structures. This book provides an international review of the subject, drawing on practical experience of designing integral and continuous joint-free bridge decks. By eliminating joints, designers can avoid problems of maintenance of joints and corrosion of substructures. National standards are being revised to encourage joint-free bridge deck designs, and there is a growing need for sharing of experience to ensure that designers understand how to take technical and economic advantage of this approach. This book contains the invited contributions to the Henderson Colloquium arranged by the British Group of the International Association of Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) held in Cambridge in 1993. It provides a wide-ranging overview of current intemational thinking on joint-free bridges covering the following topics: Problems of bridge articulation, Advantages of bridge continuity, Continuous bridges, Integral bridges, Long-length continuity, Retrofitting, Precast beam deck continuity, Soil-structure interaction.
