Abstract:
The design of distribution plates under structural bearings is usually based on an assumption that the stress is distributed fairly uniformly. Thus study was undertaken first of all on a theoretical basis, and then with experimental work to determine the actual distribution of stress. . .Further experimental work is being performed and will be reported in the near future.

The shear-restricted disc bearing with polyether urethane disc element has been used for over 10 years in bridges, buildings and other structures. The long term properties of the polyether urethane disc material in the bearing design have been tested and field proven. The design engineer now has a bearing with full design and high over-design horizontal forces at as low as zero vertical load, rotation capability at low loads (as low as 10 percent of vertical load), high over-load abilities, deflection limiting design capable of extreme rotation situations, low overall height and compact in-plan size, and total flexibility of design with the disc being the only standard component. The design engineer, using the modified up-lift shear-restriction mechanism can accommodate up-lift forces with rotation in all directions within the bearing.

One of the principal causes of corrosion of highway bridges is leakage of dissolved deicing chemicals through expansion joints. Waterproof expansion joints for bridges with movements of four inches (101.6 mm) or more present special design requirements which must be met to achieve adequate performance in long term service.

The resources devoted to the develop,emt of continuous sealing glands in the last two decades have in themselves given a vote of confidence to the merits of solving joint sealing problems in bridges with this approach.

The shortcomings of materials used to handle expansion joint transition dam areas in bridges have long been recognized. Now, with the introduction of a new engineering material, this challenging problem in both civil engineering and architectural structures may be overcome. The 9-year performance history of elastomeric concrete has thus far shown its capability to extend the maintence free life of expansion dams in bridges.
