| Abstract: |
Many decades of experience, including analysis of actual damage, has led to improvement in the durability of bridge bearings and expansion joints. Basic recommendations are given using simple principles for the arrangement and the design type selection. New technologies for sliding elements to eliminate wear problems are described. Complementary advice for dimensioning, anchorage equipment, manufacture and installation ensure the highest performance level at acceptable costs. Links to applicable international standards and national regulations simplify the process. |
