Full Description

Specifies requirements for rubber materials used in elastomeric bridge bearings, which may be of the plain-pad or laminated type. Also specifies methods of test and describes procedures for the preparation of test pieces from finished bearings. Does not contain aspects relating to design properties and quality control of the complete bearing, except where the complete bearing is used as the source of samples and test pieces to determine properties of the rubber material. Does not include dimensions and tolerances.
