1 EGCE 406: Bridge Design Bearings & Substructures Class Topics & Objectives Topics Bridge Bearing Bridge Substructures Loads on Substructure Abutment Piers Objective Students can identify and describe types of bridge bearings Students can describe the loads involved in the design of substructures. Students can describe pros and cons for each type of substructure Parts of the topics discussed in this class can be found in: Chapter 1-4 Praveen Chompreda Mahidol University 1 First Semester, Load Transfer Loads on the bridge must find a way to the ground Components of Bridge Superstructure Roadway Deck Live Load on Bridge Deck Slab Superstructure Girder Superstructure Substructure Abutment Abutment Superstructure Substructure Bearing Superstructure Roadway Deck Ground Foundation (Footing/ Pile) Substructure (Abutment/ Pier) Substructure Pier Abutment 3 4

2 Bearing Role of Bearing Forces and Movements Types Selection of Bearing 5 Bearing Bearing is a structural device positioned between bridge superstructure and substructure Roles of Bearing: Transmit load from superstructure to substructure Accommodate relative movements between superstructure and substructure Types: Fixed Bearing Rotational movement only Expansion Bearing Rotational movement Translational movement 6 Forces and Movements on Bearing Types of Bearing Forces on Bearing Vertical forces - from dead loads and live load Horizontal forces - from wind, earthquake Movements on Bearing Horizontal translation caused by creep, shrinkage, and thermal expansions. Rotations caused by traffic, construction tolerances, and uneven settlement of foundations Rocker Bearing Pin Bearing Roller Bearing Slider Bearing Elastomeric Bearing Curved Bearing Pot Bearing Disk Bearing If no movement is allowed, then the bearing must be able to resist the force due to the deformation 7 8

3 Rocker/ Pin/ Roller Bearing Rocker/ Pin/ Roller Bearing Mostly used for steel beams Can carry large loads Requires high clearance Corrosion can be a problem need regular inspections high maintenance cost Source: (2010) 9 10 Elastomeric Bearing Elastomeric Bearing with Slider Made up of natural or synthetic rubber Very flexible in shear but very stiff against volumetric change Can accommodate both rotational and translational movements through the deformation of pad Steel or fiberglass is typically used to reinforced the pad in alternate layers to prevent it from bulging under high load, allowing it to resist higher loads 11 Steel slider with Teflon (PTFE polytetrafluoroethylene) coated surfaces may be used in combination with elastomeric bearing to allow for more translations 12

4 Elastomeric Bearing Curved Bearing Source: (2010) Curved Surface allows for rotation Cylindrical Surface can rotate only about 1 axis Spherical Surface can rotate about any axes Slider surface coated with Teflon must be used to allow for the translation Can resist relatively large loads Curved Bearing Pot Bearing Source: (2010) Pot bearing consists of steel container ( Pot ) with elastomeric pad inside Can resist much larger loads than conventional elastomeric bearing Rotation is accommodated by deformation of the elastomer Sliding surface is used to allow for translation 15 16

5 Pot Bearing Disk Bearing Source: (2010) Hard elastomeric disk is used with metal key inside Metal key is used to resist horizontal loads Rotation is accommodated by deformation of the elastomer Sliding surface is used to allow for translations Which type of bearing should I use? Consider the following factors when selecting a bearing to use: Vertical and Horizontal Loads Translational and Rotational Movements Available Clearance (footprint/ height) Environment (corrosion/ temperature range) Initial Cost Maintenance Cost Availability Owner s Preference Bearing Capacity of Common Bearings 19 20

CT need not be considered for structures which are protected by: An embankment A structurally independent, crashworthy groundmounted 54.0-IN high barrier, located within 10.0 FT from the component being protected; Or a 42.0-IN high barrier located at more than 10.0 FT from the component being protected 27 28
