Integral bridges

Uvodno se objašnjava što su prema inozemnoj literaturi, integralni mostovi s obzirom na to da se u nas taj naziv dosada veoma rijetko upotrebljavao iako su izvođeni mostovi kao monolitne građevine bez spojnica i ležajnih konstrukcija. Opisuju se konstrukcijski i statički sustavi takvih mostova te navode njihova pozitivna i negativna svojstva. Prikazana su iskustva iz SAD-a i Njemačke. Detaljnije su opisane osnove za projektiranje i proračun takvih mostova te prijelaz s ceste na most.In the introduction, the author explains the meaning of the term "integral bridges" as used in international literature, as this term has been used in our country quite rarely despite the fact that bridges as monolithic structures without expansion joints and bearing structures have been realized. Structural and static systems of such bridges are described and their positive and negative properties are indicated. Experience from the U.S.A. and Germany is presented. Bases for the design and calculation of such bridges, including transition from road to bridge, are described in more detail
