    Series NG 2100 Bridge Bearings: Specification For Highway Works

    Uploaded by

    alejandraoy9
    This document provides guidance on bridge bearings for highway works contracts. It discusses general requirements for bridge bearings, including that contract-specific appendices should include performance requirements and testing. CE marking of bearings requires System 1 attestation of conformity. Bearings should be specified and installed according to BS EN 1337 and PD 6703. Where contractors design bearings, requirements should be in the contract-specific appendix. Testing, reporting, and corrosion protection are also addressed. A sample contract-specific appendix is provided that includes items to incorporate such as a bearing schedule, design requirements, performance criteria, and testing details.

    BRIDGE BEARINGS
    NG 2101 (02/16) General
    1 (02/16) Contract specific Appendix 21/1 should be used by the compiler to detail the performance requirements
    of bearings using a bearing schedule. This should include information on the performance characteristics to
    be demonstrated by the Declaration of Performance, contract compliance testing requirements, and corrosion
    protection requirements.
    2 (02/16) With respect to CE marking of the bearings the various parts of BS EN 1337 allow for two systems of
    ‘attestation of conformity’ (or ‘assessment and verification of consistency of performance (AVCP)’ as it is defined
    in the Construction Products Regulation.) These are detailed in Annex ZA of each part of BS EN 1337. All bearings
    on highway structures should be classed as ‘critical’ since in the case of failure all, or part, of the structure is likely
    to be placed beyond serviceability limits. The required system of ‘attestation of conformity’ is therefore System 1
    or equivalent AVCP system.
    3 (02/16) The specification and installation of bearings should be undertaken using the guidance given in BS EN
    1337 and appropriate parts of PD 6703 Structural bearings – Guidance on the use of structural bearings, in addition
    to specific installation procedures recommended by the manufacturer. The PD gives some guidance on structural
    issues that would affect the type of bearing specified in terms of loading and movement. It also gives some
    minimum performance levels for the use of bearings in the UK, where appropriate these should be adopted. The
    compiler should identify each aspect that requires consideration for the particular structure and bearing, and include
    the required levels of performance in the contract specific Appendix.
    4 (02/16) Where the Contractor is to design the bearings and/or the structure the design requirements should be
    given in the contract specific Appendix. This should also require the Contractor to design using BS EN 1337 and
    the appropriate, relevant parts of PD 6703. Where proprietary bearings are to be used the Contractor should design
    the bearings. All items to be designed by the Contractor are to be listed in contract specific Appendix 1/10.
    5 (02/16) The compiler should identify the contract compliance testing to be carried out by the Contractor and
    list the requirements in contract specific Appendix 1/5, details of the testing can be included in contract specific
    Appendix 21/1. See section 9.2 of PD 6703 for guidance regarding load testing.
    6 (02/16) Reports, as required by sub-Clause 2101.6 should contain sufficiently detailed information to identify
    the form, type, operational requirements and specific information on any special measures for removal/replacement.

    replaced by load testing requirements, see 5 below and section 9.2 of PD 6703.]
    2 (02/16) Design requirements. [Where design is to be carried out by the Contractor, the schedule should state the
    bearing design requirements, including method of fixing (see NG 2101). Contract specific Appendix 1/10 should
    cross-refer.]
    3 (02/16) Performance requirements. These are to be demonstrated by the Declaration of Performance. [Include
    values and units for the following as appropriate to the type of bearing(s) specified. These requirements may be
    included in the schedule or referenced in it. See Annex ZA of the relevant part of BS EN 1337 for specific details to

    contract specific Appendix 19/1, Steel components of bearings are to have their surface preparation and protection
    requirements stated in contract specific Appendix 19/1 individually for different treatments.]
    [Where surface preparation and corrosion protection is not to be as given in Series 1900 the requirements should
    be stated in this contract specific Appendix, including those for the protection of aluminium alloy and ferrous
    components where permanently exposed (2102).]

    the Contractor and any special requirements of the tests, and cross-refer with contract specific Appendix 1/5. See
