The review of the expected performance of different concepts resulted in recommending five connection concepts for further development and detailing. One concept representing I-girder superstructure supported on a box-beam integral pier cap and a reinforced-concrete single-column pier was recommended for detailed analytical and experimental validation.

All studies assumed that the column is at mid-width of the bridge and that the bridge is not skewed. Studying this system implies that the following types of structures and structural components were not directly studied: • Curved structures, • Multi-column substructures, • Single-column piers with the column not at mid-width of the bridge, • Superstructure girders other than I-girders, • Pier caps other than steel box-beam pier caps, and • Skewed superstructures.

The analytical studies of the prototype bridge were used to validate the applicability of some of the existing design provisions, which were originally 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.
