3-The bearings are provided to allow rotation at the ends,when the bridge girders are loaded and deflections take

place.

For all spans in excess of 9 m, the provisions are made forchange in length due to temperature and stress variation.The provisions for expansion and contraction should besuch as to permit movement of the free bearings to theextent of 10 mm for every 10 m of length.

For spans greater than 15m, on rigid pier or abutment, the

bearings, which permit angular rotation at the girder ends,are provided, and at one end, there shall be a roller or othereffective type of expansion bearing.


5/55

In the design of bearings, provision shall be made for thetransmission of longitudinal and lateral forces to the

bearings and the supporting structures. Provision shall bemade against any uplift to which the bearing may besubjected. All bearings are designed to permit inspectionand maintenance.

TYPES END BEARING

Depending upon the magnitude of end reaction, and thespan of bridge, the different types of bearings used for the

bridges are as follows:

1-Plate bearings (Sliding& hinged bearings).

2-Rocker bearings

3-Roller bearings.

4-Bearing adopted by Railway Board.


7/55

(Sliding&Plate bearings-1

hinged bearings).Plate bearings are simplest type of bearings.The plate bearings are used small spansupto 15 m and small end reaction of the

bridge. Fig. 13-1 shows a plate bearing. The plate bearing consists of two plates.

9/55

A sole plate is attached to the bridge. The sole plate restson bearing. The bearing plate is anchored to the concrete.

The two anchor bolts fixed in concrete pass through the bearing plate and the sole plate. The size of bearing plate isfound by the end reaction and the allowable bearing

pressure on the concrete. The plates are made rigid to

distribute the end reaction as uniformly as possibly overthe required area of the concrete.

When the anchor bolts pass through the circular holes inthe sole plate, then, the plate bearings act as hinged

bearing. One end of the bridge girder is hinged oranchored to the concrete through the hinged bearings.


10/55

The hinged bearings are designed for the end reaction(vertical load) and the lateral forces. The magnitudes of end

reactions used are large. Therefore, the fixed bearingsdesigned for end reactions (vertical loads) only strongenough to take the lateral forces.

In order to allow the longitudinal movement, the slottedholes are provided in the sole plate. In order to reduce thefriction, the surfaces of sole plate and bearing plate incontact are well machined and smoothly finished. The sole

plate can slide upon the bearing plate. The plate bearingsact as expansion bearings of sliding type. In the expansion

bearing, the longitudinal movement (expansion orcontraction) takes place with change of temperature and

loads


11/55

The longitudinal force at any free bearing shall be limitedto the dead load reaction at the bearings multiplied by thecoefficient of friction. The coefficients of friction fordifferent surfaces in contact are given in clause 6.10(Egyptian code for loads).

The plate bearings have bearing two disadvantages. Theedge of plate nearest to the end of span has a tendency tolift along with the deflection of bridge girder. Therefore,the end reaction is not distributed uniformly. Secondly, inorder to have longitudinal movement, the sliding frictionis to be overcome. Therefore, for the large span bridges,the more efficient devices are necessary.


12/55

The end reaction is distributed uniformly by providing adeep cast steel bed block as shown in Fig. 13-2 .

Such bed blocks have adequate rigidity. The sole plate bearings are many times made curved as shown in Fig. 13-3.

The curved sole plate allows rotation. For large spans, the

plate bearings are not suitable. The hinged (rocker) bearingsand roller bearings are used in such cases.

The sliding bearing is the least expansive bearing for lightand intermediate reactions.

Figure 13-6a shows an expansion bearing for larger bridges.Several variations are shown in the view at the right. Thesole plate may be bolted to the girder, as at the left of thecenterline, or welded as shown at the right. Resistance touplift may be provided by using a hinge plate, as at the left;if such resistance is needed, lateral movement is prevented

by a plate such as that shown at right. A correspondinghinged end bearing is shown in Fig. 13-6b.

Although there is only a line of contact between an unloadedrocker and its bearing plate, deformation under loaddistributes the reaction over a finite area. Evidently, at agiven load this area increases with increase in radius of therocker, since a rocker of infinitely large radius would have a

plane surface to begin with. The allowable load must be

evaluated in terms of limiting permanent deformation. Thusthe yield point of the material is also a factor.

These bear ings consist of :

An upper sole plate; in rolled steel riveted to the girder. Forhinged bearing the sole plate is provided with two grooves inwhich two ribs in the bearing plate in gage and thus thehorizontal movement isnt available.

2-Hinged (Rocker) bearings


26/55

The cast steel sole and cast steel bearing block are used inthese types of bearings. A cylindrical pin is inserted in

between the cast steel sole and the cast steel bearing block.This pin allows rotations at the ends of bridge girder. Therocker bearing acts as hinged bearing. The end reaction ofa bridge girder is transmitted to the pin

by direct bearing through the sole attached with the girder.The vertical plates are used to transmit the end reaction.The number of plates (two or three) depends upon the

magnitude of end reaction. The end reaction is furthertransmitted to the cast steel bearing block and then to thesupporting structure.


27/55

Two outer vertical plates completely encircle the pin. Incase, the bearing is subjected to an uplift, then, the uplift isresisted by theses plates. The middle plates provide only

bearing with the cylindrical surface of the pin. The required bearing area is provided by the product of total thickness of plates and the diameter of pin. The thicknesses of all the plates are kept equal. Therefore, the end reaction istransmitted equally by these plates. The value of bendingmoment is found by multiplying force transmitted by outer

plate of the sole to the outer plate of bearing block and

center to center distance between these plates. The size of base plate is found by the allowable bearing stress in theconcrete and the end reaction.


28/55

The rocker bearing are also bearings are also subjected tolateral and longitudinal forces in addition to the endreaction (vertical loads). The increase of end reaction dueto lateral and longitudinal forces is also taken intoconsideration. The lateral forces and the longitudinal forcesare assumed to act at the level of cylindrical pin of the

rocker bearing. The base plate is subjected to momentalong both the directions. The total bearing stress in theconcrete should not exceed the allowable bearing stress.

The rocker bearings are designed for the end reaction andthen checked for lateral forces and longitudinal forces.

Figure 3.54 shows the rocker bearing for the hinged end.


29/55

In the rocker bearing for free end of the bridge girder theunderside of sole is curved, which rotates on the horizontal

bearing plates and allows longitudinal movement. This actsas rocker type expansion.

3-Roller bearings. The roller bearings as shown in Fig. 13-9 are also usedfor the long span bridges. Fig. 3.55 (A) shows a singleroller used in the bearing.

The rollers provide the rotation as well as thelongitudinal movement. Fig. 3.55 (B) shows number ofrollers used in the bearing. The bearings act as roller type

expansion bearings. The rollers are kept in position bymeans of dowels, lugs or keys as shown in Fig. 3.55 (A).

The roller bearings for spans above span 35 m should

preferably be protected from dirt by oil or grease box.


31/55

So long as, the size of rollers is small, the completecircular rollers are provided. When the size of rollers

become large, then, the sides of rollers are cut in order toreduce the length of the sole, and to make the bearingsmore compact. These rollers with cut sides are known assegmental rollers.

bearings as shown in Fig. 13-11 . In such cases the roller also acts as ahinged bearing.

37/55

The following points are kept in mind while designing ssole a pedestal for the roller bearing.

1. The sole transmits the end reaction to the pin. Theend reaction must be distributed from the pin to the variousrollers uniformly.

2. The size and number of rollers provided should beadequate to have proper stress and free movement.

3. The rollers should be so arranged that these can be

readily cleaned of accumulated dirt and dust.4- Segmental rollers (Fig. 13-12) are ordinary used since

they occupy less space than cylindrical rollers.


38/55

The rollers may be coupled with the sidebars shown andthe entire nest held in position by tooth guides whichengage slots in the shoe and in the bearing plate. Sidebarsmay be omitted if each roller is held by teeth. Lateralmovement is prevented by the tongues shown in the viewat the right.

1. Resistance to uplift may be provided by lugs thathave projections extending over the upper surface of the

base of the shoe or by enlarging the base of the shoe and providing slotted holes for the anchor bolts. The rollerassembly may be enclosed with removable dust guards;they are shown on only two sides in Fig 13-12 to indicatethat they are optional.

The roll er bearings consist of the foll owing par ts

1-Upper sole plate in structural steel or cast steel or cast/steel riveted to the plate girder.

2-A lower sole plate (saddle) in cast steel with a curvedupper surface and a plain lower surface which bears upon the

rollers.


40/55

Its dimensions depend upon the number of rollers theirdiameter and clearance left between the rollers. It must

project on either side to allow for longitudinal movementof the bridge.

In case of two rollers the B.M. at center of plate = V S/ 4

In case of three rollers or more the saddle plate acts as acontinuous beam of variable inertia by three rollers thecentral one will carry most of the load. For this reason it isgenerally preferred to have the number of rollers either
