scope:

This section covers the construction and installation of structural bearings that consist of one or more of the following component types: metal rocker and roller bearings, PTFE sliding bearings (flat and curved), plain elastomeric pads, fiberglass reinforced elastomeric pads, cotton duck reinforced pads, steel reinforced elastomeric bearings, pot bearings, disc bearings, and bronze and copper alloy bearings (flat and curved). At the discretion of the Engineer, other component types may be used, but the construction, installation and testing requirements must then be agreed by the Engineer before the start of fabrication.

The section also covers ancillary items such as masonry, sole and load distribution plates, bedding materials, anchor bolts, lubricants and adhesives.
