    Num eth, ud, 1985, Bearings, Joints and Appurtenances _ Mad iiportance of Bearings : Bearings are provided in bridges to transmit the load from the superstructure to the substructure in such a manner that the bearing stresses induced in the substructure are within permissible limits. They should also accommodate certain relative movements between the superstructure and the substructure. The latter are usually due to one or more of the following: \{2} longitudinal movement due te temperature variation; ) rotation due to deflection of the girders; and \WP) vertical movement due to sinking of the supports. in addition, there can be movements due to shrinkage, prestres: movements and rotations may be reversible or irreversible. The reversible effe tyolic and are due to temperature changes and live loads. Effects due 10 settlement of supports, prestressing, creep or shrinkage are irreversible. : “The magnitude of thermal movement depends on the coefficient of linear expansion and the temperature range to which the member is subjected. For the purpose of preliminary catimates, the maximum range of movement due to all causes, expressed a5 4 proportion of the expansion length, may be assumed as below': In-situ reinforced concrete 0.0009 Precast reinforced concrete 0.0007 In-situ prestressed concrete 0.0016 Precast prestressed concrete 0.0011 sing or creep.

On certain major bridges, the cost of bearings accounts 24.0f the total cost of the bridge. Hence there is scope for economy by careful design of bearings. Guidelines for the design of bearings for road bridges are don a raised inth i available in |BC: 83 23.

This arrangement. is sufficient to al miner of the rotating movement, each bearing area should be beveled or rounded at the edge. . For submersible bridges, which are generally of slab spans, uplift undar submersion condition should be adequately provided for. A typical detail at the support as proposed by the author in an earlier paper is shown in Fig. 14.1. Bearings for Girder Bridges i idges should be provided with fixed and expansion joints. Fixed bearings should have provision for rotation and expansion bearings should be able to allow longitudinal movements as well as rotation. During construction, expansion bearings should be properly aligned to correct for the temperature prevailing at the time of erection. For bridges.in gradient, the bearing plates are to be placed in a horizontal plane. In seismic areas, suitable guides should be incorporated in the bearings to prevent the toller and cocker from being displaced during earthquakes.
