With their significant whole-life cost savings and minimal maintenance requirements, integral bridges have become a default choice for a large proportion of modern highway structures in the UK. Published earlier this year by the SCI and the Steel Bridge Group, Integral Steel Bridges (P450) presents an up-to-date overview of integral bridge design principles based on the experience of designers and constructors actively involved in their construction.

In this 1-hour webinar, the guide's authors, Jessica Sandberg and Reza Mirehsan of AtkinsRéalis, will present a summary of the updated guidance, including:

• Principal configurations of integral bridges
• Practical guidance on designing connection details
• Commonly used analysis methods and the application of earth pressures in line with PD 6694-1
• How to account for the effects of skew on the end supports
• Key considerations for intermediate supports, comparing the benefits of integral connections versus traditional bearings.
