The designer has to assess the maximum and minimum loads that the deck will exert on the bearing together
with the anticipated movements (translation and rotation). Bearing manufacturers will supply a suitable bearing
to meet the designers requirements.
Bearings are arranged to allow the deck to expand and
contract, but retain the deck in its correct position on the
substructure. A 'Fixed' Bearing does not allow
translational movement. 'Sliding Guided' Bearings are
provided to restrain the deck in all translational directions
except in a radial direction from the fixed bearing. This
allows the deck to expand and contract freely. ' Sliding'
Bearings are provided for vertical support to the deck
only.
