Bridge bearing pads are an essential component of any modern bridge structure. They are the unsung heroes, providing support and stability to the bridge while also absorbing and distributing loads. Our company, a leading provider of high-quality bridge bearing pads, is here to shed light on the importance of these indispensable components. Let's delve into the world of bridge bearing pads, exploring their benefits, applications, and how you can get started with them.
The benefits of bridge bearing pads are substantial. Here are a few key advantages:
Material | Load Capacity (kN/pad) | Service Life (years) |
---|---|---|
Elastomeric | 100-1500 | 50+ |
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) | 100-300 | 20+ |
Steel | 200-3000 | 30+ |
Bridge bearing pads find applications in a wide range of bridge structures, including:
Bridge Type | Common Pad Type |
---|---|
Small-to-medium span concrete bridges | Elastomeric |
Large span steel bridges | PTFE |
Bridges subjected to high loads | Steel |
Getting started with bridge bearing pads is a straightforward process:
Step | Description |
---|---|
1 | Determine the bridge design, load capacity, and environmental conditions. |
2 | Select the appropriate pad material (elastomeric, PTFE, or steel). |
3 | Calculate the number of pads required based on the bridge design and load distribution using this formula. |
4 | Install the pads according to the manufacturer's instructions. |
