Bridge Bearing:In
order to avoid over stressing and damage by movements of vehicle
and loading to the piers, bridge bearings are used to accommodate
these movements so as to reduce thereaction
forces and bending movement to within the safety limits of
structure. Natural Rubber is an ideal engineering material for
bridge bearings as it is highly elastic and sufficiently soft to
accommodatethese
movements without transmitting harmful stress and also it can
absorb and isolate energies from impacts and
vibrations.
