bearing pad

The second version has continuous concrete bearing pads on either side to carry the floor.

Several heavy trusses were knocked out and the swing span was moved off its bearing pad.

There are usually four bearing pads, mounted in a tetrahedral arrangement to support the platform.

Elastomeric bearing pads are the most economical solution used in construction of large span bridges and buildings.

In a bottle jack the piston is vertical and directly supports a bearing pad that contacts the object being lifted.

She was trained by the French technical manager during this period on post-tensioned concrete, alternative bridge design, expansion joints,and bearing pads.

It was also found that mild steel bearing pad surfaces were badly worn as lubrication was not effective at bearings.

Elastomeric bearing pads compress on vertical load and accommodate horizontal rotation and provide lateral shear movement.

The inventory also found premature deterioration of its supports due to galvanic corrosion involving the steel bearing pads and aluminum girder structure.

To reduce excessive body roll due to poor track conditions, extra bearing pads were fitted to the outside of the bogie frame and the main frame.

Reinforced concrete abutments support precast 'U' section prestressed beams on individual rubber bearing pads over a clear span of 13.6 metres.

The girder system was topped by a concrete slab deck and underlain with standard concrete abutments and piers and steel bearing pads on which the aluminum girders rested.

The bits use a rotary motion similar to a twist drill; however, the bits are designed with bearing pads that slide along the surface of the hole keeping the drill bit on center.

Neoprene bearing pads, neoprene bridge bearings, laminated elastomeric bearings and seismic isolators are generally known as bridge bearing pads in the construction industry.

Important examples of simple shear include laminar flow through long channels of constant cross-section (Poiseuille flow), and elastomeric bearing pads in base isolation systems to allow critical buildings to survive earthquakes undamaged.

Similarly, to deal with the earthquake protection requirements at Cruas, more stringent than at most of the other sites, without having to modify the standard model, the power station was built on neoprene bearing pads capable of taking out a large part of any acceleration that might be imparted by the ground.
