Key Features of Bridge Bearings
Load Capacity: Bridge bearings are designed to support high vertical loads and low to moderate horizontal loads.
Components: They incorporate a confined elastomeric pad housed within a steel casing, along with a piston and guide mechanisms depending on the required direction of movement.
Main Types: Available in fixed, guided (unidirectional), and free-sliding (multidirectional) configurations, allowing different levels of restraint and movement to meet the specific requirements of the structure.
