GENERAL INFORNIATION
* RALICO Elastomeric Bridge Bearings consist of individual layers of Rubber, reinforced by
steel plates.
* The steei plates are either completely embedded by the rubber or protected by a specially
developed coating.
* Perfect bonding between plates and elastomer is obtained under high pressure during the
vulcanization process.
* The RALICO standard range of elastomeric bridge bearings offers a logical progression in
both load bearings and shear movement or rotation capacity to the Bridge design Engi-
neer.
In this Technical Data describes the Indonesian, American & British Standard. Our prod-
ucts can meet these and any others International Standard or requirements.
In accordance with normai commercial practice and in the absence of any other Informa-
tion, RALICO will supply Bridge Bearings to customers specification under the assump-
tion that bearing design approval for a particular load condition or environment has been
granted by the responsible bridge design engineer.
INSTALLATION
REINFORCED
BEARINGS
In general, the bearing is simply placed on the surface provided at the right level. The lower
ur,d .tpp"r concrete surfaces, between wh the which the bearing is placed must be horizon-
tal, parallel, clean and flat.
Sometimes, the bearings is installed on a mortar bed which will have a thikness of 2-3 cm
and exceed the bearing sizes by some centimeters in each direction.
The sides of the bearing should not be prevented from deforming. The framework for in-
situ concrete superstruiture must be constructed so as to prevent concrete flowing between
the framework ind the sides of the bearing. The framework surrounding the bearing should
be soft and easy to remove later (WE RECOMMEND TO USE RALICO EVA HEAVY DUTY
IOINT FILLER).
Care should be taken to avoid all contact of bearings oil, solvents.'...'...
The Engineer should design the location of bearings in order to facilitate their future replace-
ment (jack recess).

TECHNICAL DATA
The total height of Bearing is determined by the number of elementary rubber layers each of thick-
ness + (= 8,10,12 etc.), a corresponding Number of Intermediate Steel Plates of varible thickness
depending on the elementary layeg and two rubber surface layerst/, thick.
