Structural bearings mageba structural bearings – mastering loads and movements Ijssel Bridge, Holland RESTON®SPHERICAL bearings well-designed, compact, durable

Structural bearings   Design and types Principle mageba RESTON®SPHERICAL bearings ensure the controlled transfer of loads between a structure’s superstructure and its substructure. They also accommodate rotations about any axis and – where appropriate – movements of the superstructure. Vertical and horizontal forces are transmitted to the substructure, while rotations are facilitated by a spherical calotte in a matching lower part concave. RESTON®SPHERICAL bearings are suitable for use in structures with medium to high loads, and structures with limited space for bearings. The design of RESTON®SPHERICAL...

Structural bearings   Properties and installation Anchoring Depending on design, bearings are connected to the superstructure and substructure by means of anchor dowels or threaded sockets, or by anchor plates with shear studs. Anchor dowels are suitable for the transmission of horizontal forces in the case of guided sliding (KE) and fixed (KF) bearings. Threaded sockets are suitable for free sliding (KA) bearings without anchor plates. The use of anchor plates simplifies future bearing replacement. The number of shear studs on each anchor plate depends on static design requirements. Mixed designs,...
