You want to integrate an equation (but equations CAN'T be integrated) and  
anyway, you haven't given us an equation. (Just an expression.)

Indefinite integration of that expression w.r.t. b, c, and d would still  
give a function of FIVE variables -- not just t and a.

And definite integration w.r.t. b, c, and d probably isn't possible,  
either -- I'm pretty sure there's no closed form expression for it, when t  
and a are undefined (variable).

So you'll have to rein in your wants, here. What CAN be done (maybe) is  
something like

f[t_, a_][b_, c_,
    d_] = (5.985857026794833*^-14*(14 + c)^2.37*
      E^(-0.0003630681026445808*(-50.29 + b)^2 - c/41 -
         0.0003125*(-43.7 + d)^2 - b/d + t/d -
         1.1985780806058064*^-6*(-3535.42 +
             c + ((a - c)*E^((-b + t)/d))/(t/b)^(b/d))^2))/(t/b)^(b/
       d);
g[t_?NumericQ, a_?NumericQ] :=
  NIntegrate[f[t, a][b, c, d], {b, 0, 170.}, {c, 0, 400.}, {d, 0, 170.}]

g[0.5, 0.3]

But, if you execute that, you'll see that NIntegrate has convergence  
problems.

Experiment with various options to NIntegrate and maybe, for some values  
of t and a, you can get convergence.

Your expression has t in a couple of denominators, but you want to  
integrate with t from 0 to (doesn't matter what). That in itself may make  
convergence impossible. So changing the lower limit might help a lot.
