Arsan engineering department designs the structural and seismic bearings according to project requirements and specifications. Technical support for the project is provided by qualified Arsan engineer.
Among the products we have designed:
- Elastomer Bearings
- Pot Bearings
- Spherical Bearings
- Lead Rubber Bearings
- Special Bearings (Uplift Bearings, Guide Bearings and Restraint Bearings)
The standards we use most in bearing designs are;
- EN 1337-3 Elastomeric Bearings
- EN 15129 Seismic Bearings
- BS 5400 Part 9 Bridge Bearings
- TEC 2016 Turkish Earthquake Code
- ASCE 7-16 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures
- AASHTO LRFD 2012 Bridge Design Specifications
The following steps are followed in the bearing design;
- The standard is determined according to the customer's request and the load table containing the following information is sent to us. The following data must be submitted for optimum design.
- Maximum and Minimum Vertical Loads,
- Maximum Horizontal Loads,
- Maximum Rotations,
- Maximum Displacements,
- Allowable Average Contact Stresses,
- Connection Details,
- Damping Ratio,
- Response Spectrum Values.
- Bearing type is selected first.
- The bearings are optimally designed in accordance with the requirements of the standard on request.
- Technical drawings are prepared.
- After approval, manufacturing process starts.
