Bridge bearings - Import export

This expansion joint is suitable to absorb longitudinal and transverse displacements of the decks with span up to 25 metres and covering gaps of up to 50 mm. It consists of: • anchoring system consisting of steel anchor clamps (anchor rods) of suitable dimensions and section; • CNR 10018/85-compliant reinforced rubber elements, to be fixed to the slabs, consisting of central bridging plate and two steel bearing elements, subject to prior laying of epoxy resin bedding; • hypalon gutter, fixed to the two slab heads by epoxy plaster.

DESCRIPTION MATERIAL A Gap-covering plate Dielectric vulcanized rubber B M12 anchoring system C Gutter Hypalon D Pouring of modified bitumen E Epoxy plaster S Fip 180 F Restoring of base plane Fibre-reinforced cement mortar G Binder H Road surface

The structural bearings are restraining devices used in structures, bridges and buildings, in order to precisely convey loads and restrain set degrees of freedom of movement. The range of FIP INDUSTRIALE structural bearings includes: all the types made of steel all the types made of rubber In addition to traditional types, FIP INDUSTRIALE also makes special devices such as anti-lifting, load measuring bearings, bearings for incrementally launched bridges etc. TYPES: Pot bearings Reinforced elastomeric bearings Sferopol bearings Cylindrical hinge bearings Special bearings

Expansion joint made of: • CNR 10018/85-compliant modular reinforced rubber pads consisting of a central bridging plate and side bearing elements vulcanized to steel plates; • mechanical anchoring system consisting of threaded bars or, as an alternative, multidirectional clamps and anchor rods, depending on site requirements; • hypalon gutter; • "L"-shaped stainless steel profile for under pavement waters drainage; • epoxy mortar strips connecting the joint elements and the bituminous pavement.

SR series mechanical fuse restraint devices prevent relative movements between connected parts until reaching a force threshold. Upon exceeding such force, thanks to the break of a sacrificial element, they permit said movements. They are used to exclude the seismic protection system under operating conditions, allowing for free operation during design earthquake. Experimental force-displacement curve of a mechanical fuse restraint device. SR devices coupled with a bearing (Krka Bridge, Croatia). A device of the SR series installed together with fluid viscous dampers in Rion Antirion Bridge (Greece).
