Bearing Pads For Steel Beams

Indot requires two types of bearing devices.

Bearing pads for steel beams. The elastomer bearing pad shall be 60 durometer hardness and reinforced with 1 8 inch steel shim plates when laminated pads are required by design. Bearing pad newlon a molded neoprene pad for load bearing applications in steel and or precast concrete commercial structures bridges bearing pad white nitrile non marking fda approved bearing pads primarily used where resistance to oil solvents and fuels is required. Commercial grade neoprene and rof random oriented fiber bearings. Slide bearings made to any configuration and able to support 2 000 psi while operating at standard or elevated temperatures.

These bearing pads also known as. Elastomeric rubber bearing pads for steel beams can be used for steel structures pre cast concrete structures standard concrete slabs and anywhere needs vibratuin isolation. Also called thermal insulation material thermal break bearings are made from fiberglass reinforced laminate. Fixed bearing pads such as fabreeka preformed fabric bearing pads and sa 47 random oriented fiber bearing pads are used on bridges to support uneven load and rotation on steel to steel or steel to concrete connections.

Custom fabricated structural bearings for buildings bridges and infrastructure. Structural bearing pads are fabricated to your specification. High load multi rotational bearings hlmr the details include pot disc and spherical bearings 3. Load bearing pads can be supplied to specified dimensions ready for installation including required cut outs and holes or in sheet form for later sizing.

Type i a joint between approach slab and deck c. Fabreeka supplies bearing pads both fixed and sliding for bridges around the world. Bridge bearing masonry pads. Lighting standard pad seats.

For steel beam and girder construction both elastomeric bearings and steel bearing assemblies are common. For applications in highway construction most states and agencies require 100 pure virgin polymer to. Bearing portion of beams encased with concrete. Elastomeric bearings can be made to order consisting of layered steel and neoprene with or without bonded base plates.

For concrete structural members the bearing used is the elastomeric pad device. Brp elastomeric bearings pads are designed for use in bridge and building construction elastomeric bearings pads are commonly used under pre cast concrete beams steel beams and in various other support points. When rectangular bearings are used increased rotation bearing capacity can be achieved by orientating the pad with the shorter dimension of the pad parallel with the span of the girder. Elastomeric bearings the details are for steel reinforced elastomeric pads.

Our elastomeric bearings pads are manufactured with the highest quality neoprene. Thermal break bearings horizontal. However much of the content is directly applicable to fiberglass reinforced plain and cotton duck pads as well.
