These restraint forces are much larger than those that are accounted for in the older 2D models. This leads to that the amount of transversal reinforcement, calculated in the 3D FE-calculations,
Bridges constructed without joints function to take care of forces by introducing bending moments to the stiff connections. Jointless bridges, also called integral bridges, in different appearances are built all over the world, and are popular due to their advantages regarding life cycle cost.
