In addition to the questionnaire, an extensive literature search was performed to identify and review relevant past research. Analyzing the response to the questionnaire and the results of the literature search allowed the research team to identify the issues related to the design and construction of the integral connections, to identify the connection systems used in the past and the reasons for selecting these systems, and to develop several new systems that were potential candidates for this study.

The analytical studies of the prototype bridge were used to validate the applicability of some of the existing design provisions, which originally were developed for girders supported on conventional bearings, to girders of structures with integral connections. The analytical studies on the test specimen computer model were used to determine the anticipated forces acting on different components of the laboratory specimens and to validate the modeling technique by comparing the analytical results with the laboratory results.

The results of the analytical and experimental studies were used to finalize the details of the integral connections and to develop design methodologies, specifications, commentary, and a detailed design example based on the proposed specifications.
