Integral bridges in simple words, can be defined as bridges without joints. Integral bridges are characterized by monolithic connection between the deck and the substructure (piers and abutments). They span from one abutment, over intermediate support to the other abutment, without any joint in the deck. Integral bridges have been constructed all over the world including India.

INTRODUCTIO N
INTEGRAL ABUTMENT
The integral abutment is defined as abutment, which is connected to the bridge deck without any movement joint for expansion or contraction of the deck

Dankuni-Palsit Flyover
It is situated at the durgapur Expressway. The span arrangement for the overpass is15m + 2x22.0 m + 15m,continuous over the support. The deck is RC solid slab type integral with the twin piers. The bridge is a joint less bridge without any expansion joint over intermediate piers without any bearings

2. Kalkaji Flyover
A 150m integral flyover has been provided at the vital T-junction on Ring Road near Kalkaji Temple. The typical five span continuous deck (25m + 30m + 40m + 30m + 25m), has a voided slab reinforced concrete deck with a depth of 1.70m, which was hunched and increased to 2.20m at the piers supporting the 40.0m obligatory main span.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, it must be said that the final product represented by the integral bridge is vastly superior in performance in service conditions as compared to traditional bridges with bearings and expansion joints.
