Bridge bearings play a crucial role in the stress, displacement, and rotation of the bridge superstructure, directly impacting the overall stability, durability, and safety of the bridge. This paper analyzes common bridge bearing defects and their causes, and proposes maintenance and repair methods.
Thermal expansion and contraction is a common phenomenon in nature; that is, objects expand when heated and contract when cooled.
Most elementary school children are familiar with this phenomenon.
Bearings function to transfer various loads from the superstructure and accommodate displacements caused by temperature, shrinkage, creep, and other factors.
Bridges are like the skeletal system of the human body, and supports are the "joints" that connect various "bones". As a bridge engineer with many years of experience, I have seen too many major accidents caused by bearing diseases. Today, we will take you to a deeper understanding of this often overlooked "bridge gate".
Bridges are like the skeletal system of the human body, and bearings are the "joints" connecting these "bones." As a bridge engineer with many years of experience, I have witnessed far too many major accidents caused by bearing defects. Today, I will take you on a deeper dive into this often-overlooked "vital point" of bridge construction.
