Presentation Notes
This picture shows a bearing pad layout with 2 bearing pads per beam. In most cases with spread box beam and adjacent box beams this is typical. Occasionally you may 1 bearing pad per beam (depends on the design of the bridge and the design engineer) There are several other bearing assemblies for today will be dealing with elastomeric bearings. This type of bearing is common with concrete bridge beams.

PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO HOW BEARING PADS ARE LAID OUT THESE ARE NOT SET LEVEL… MEANING THEY ARE SET ON A CROSS SLOPE

Presenter
Presentation Notes
This situation will impact the erecting phase (beams are lifted off the truck level and then place on a cross slope) adjusting the rigging may be necessary depending on cross slope. Top and bottom of beam bays is not the same depending on cross slopes. Be sure to check stay in place form shop drawings and verify fitment.

WHEN TO GROUT BEARING PADS

BEARINGS. WHEN ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS ARE USED UNDER BEAMS, DETERMINE IF THERE IS FULL

CONTACT BETWEEN THE BEARING PAD AND BEARING SURFACES JUST AFTER THE BEAMS ARE SET

IN PLACE. TEMPORARILY REMOVE OR RELOCATE WATERPROOFING AND OTHER MATERIAL AS REQUIRED TO

EXPOSE ALL SIDES OF THE PAD. IF A GAP BETWEEN THE PAD AND BEARING SURFACES IS PRESENT,

PROCEED AS FOLLOWS UNLESS THE CONTRACT PLANS INDICATE THAT A LIFT-OFF CONDITION IS EXPECTED

WHEN THE BEAM IS INITIALLY SET ON THE PAD:

GAP THICKNESS > (3/8 INCH). IF A GAP ALONG ANY EDGE OF THE PAD EXCEEDS (3/8 INCH), GRIND

THE BEARING SURFACE OF THE SUBSTRUCTURE TO ELIMINATE THE GAP, EXCEPT GAPS ALONG THE

FRONT EDGE OF THE PAD (EDGE TOWARD THE MIDSPAN OF THE BEAM) WILL BE ALLOWED AS

SPECIFIED IN STEPS 1 AND 2 BELOW. PROVIDE A ROUGH TEXTURED BEARING SURFACE AFTER

GRINDING. VERIFY THAT THE MINIMUM REQUIRED VERTICAL CLEARANCE TO THE BOTTOM OF BEAMS, AS

INDICATED, IS MAINTAINED AFTER GRINDING.

Presentation Notes
This material is taken directly from Pub 408 Section 1080. The most important information to take from this is having a gap thickness greater than 3/8” is a problem that needs to be dealt with. Also, substructures preparation impact the bearings as well…we will be cover that topic later on in the presentation.

www.dot.state.pa.us

Gap Thickness < (3/8 inch) IF GAPS ALONG ANY EDGE OF THE PAD ARE LESS THAN

OR EQUAL TO (3/8 INCH), PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

GAP ALONG REAR EDGE OF PAD ONLY. IF A GAP OCCURS ANYWHERE ALONG THE

REAR EDGE OF THE PAD (EDGE TOWARD THE END OF THE BEAM), ELIMINATE THE

GAP BY PLACING A LEVELING BED OF POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR BENEATH THE

PAD AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 1080.3(C)2.A.

GAP ALONG SIDE EDGES OF PAD. IF A GAP OCCURS ALONG THE SIDE EDGES OF

THE PAD, AND THERE IS FULL CONTACT AT THE FRONT AND REAR EDGES,

ELIMINATE THE GAP BY PLACING A LEVELING BED OF POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR

BENEATH THE PAD AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 1080.3(C)2.A.

GAP ALONG FRONT EDGE OF PAD. IF A GAP OCCURS ALONG THE FRONT EDGE

(EDGE TOWARD THE MIDSPAN OF THE BEAM OF THE BEARING PAD), PROCEED AS

FOLLOWS:

STEP 1: DETERMINE THE AREA OF NON-CONTACT BETWEEN THE PAD AND BEAM. IF

THE AMOUNT OF NON-CONTACT IS LESS THAN 20% OF THE PAD AREA,

PROCEED TO STEP 2; OTHERWISE ELIMINATE GAP BY PLACING A LEVELING BED

OF POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR BENEATH THE PAD AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION

1080.3(C)2.A.

If there is a good place to have a gap between the beam and bearing it is along the front of the pad. Ask question: Why is having a gap in the front of the bearing better than having a gap anywhere else???

STEP 2: MEASURE THE MAXIMUM GAP THICKNESS ALONG THE FRONT EDGE AND PROCEED AS FOLLOWS:

SPANS < (100 FEET) • GAP THICKNESS ≤ (3/32 INCH): LEAVE GAP IN PLACE. • (3/32 INCH) < GAP THICKNESS ≤ (3/8 INCH): ELIMINATE THE GAP BY

PLACING A LEVELING BED OF POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR BENEATH THE PAD AS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 1080.3(C)2.A.

LEVELING BED OF POLYMER-MODIFIED MORTAR, PLACEMENT PROCEDURE. 1. IMMEDIATELY BEFORE LIFTING BEAM, PREPARE MORTAR ACCORDING

TO THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATIONS. DO NOT EXTEND MORTAR BY ADDING COARSE AGGREGATE.

2. LIFT BEAM AS NECESSARY. 3. REMOVE PAD. 4. APPLY A BED OF MORTAR TO THE BEAM SEAT, COVERING AN AREA

APPROXIMATELY 50 MM (2 INCHES) BEYOND THE PERIMETER OF THE BEARING PAD. APPLY THE MORTAR IN A THICKNESS APPROXIMATELY (1/8 INCH) GREATER THAN THE MAXIMUM ACTUAL GAP THICKNESS.

5. PLACE THE PAD ON THE MORTAR. 6. RESET THE BEAM ON THE PAD WHILE THE MORTAR REMAINS PLASTIC. 7. CURE THE MORTAR, AS APPLICABLE, ACCORDING TO THE

MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDATION. PLACE MORTAR ACCORDING TO TEMPERATURE RESTRICTIONS RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

DO NOT PLACE A LEVELING BED OF MORTAR BEFORE THE INITIAL SETTING OF BEAMS.

Here is a typical section detail taken out of BC-788M…as you can see is explains the placement of the Styrofoam…there is also other useful information found on this detail. Remember Publication 408 is not the only place were you can obtain information of bearings. It is good practice to review project design drawings, project special provisions, BC standards, RC standards and publication 408.

MEASURING DEPTH OF COVER/TOTAL DEPTH OF

PLASTIC CONCRETE ON BRIDGE DECKS

The following policy is required to standardize the inspection and documentation procedures for measuring the total deck thickness and the concrete cover over the top mat of reinforcing steel when performing the inspection of bridge deck construction. The inspection measurements must be entered directly into an approved sourced document and included in the permanent project records. It is recommended hat the "Wire Mesh Depth Check" section in the rear of Form CS-472, the Concrete Inspectors Daily Record Book or a "black field book" be used to record all measurements in a format similar to the accompanying example. Report all measurements in a table format (Refer to examples attached). Identify the contract number, structure number, span, pour sequence, starting, ending and test stations, and the location of all pier and deck joints. For long or wide spans, the table can be continued on as many pages as required. ON the left side of the table, indicate the test location stations. Recheck the entire area where grade adjustments are performed and enter the new depth check measurements in the table. Continue to perform the "dry run" inspection until further adjustments are required. 48

MEASURING DEPTH OF COVER/TOTAL DEPTH OF

PLASTIC CONCRETE ON BRIDGE DECKS

A."Dry Run" Inspection The "dry run" inspection of the finishing machine should be checked at longitudinal intervals not exceeding 3 m (10 feet) along the length of the bridge deck. Place permanent test station markings on the vertical edge form work to be used as reference points during the concrete placement operation. The stationing should be easily visible. During the "dry run" check, measure the distance from the distance from the bottom of the finishing machine roller(s) to the top of the deck form work to obtain the total deck thickness, and measure the distance from the bottom of the roller(s) to the top mat of reinforcing steel to obtain the depth of concrete cover.

MEASURING DEPTH OF COVER/TOTAL DEPTH OF

PLASTIC CONCRETE ON BRIDGE DECKS

As a minimum, perform "dry run" depth checks at each 3 m (10 feet) test station, at each end of the transverse span between girders, at grade break points, and adjacent to the outside girder and gutter line of the overhang form work. In addition, measure the total deck width at each test section. During the "dry run" inspection, run the finishing machine transversely along the entire length of all expansion dams, bulkhead forms, etc., to check the grade and profile. Record all measurements directly into the corresponding table location in the source document. Compare the "dry run" measurements against the contract drawings and specifications tolerances. In accordance with Publication 408, Section 1001.3(b)1., "Place reinforcements so the indicated cover does not deviate from position by more than 5 mm (¼ inch)". The contractor must adjust the grade of the screed rail or bar supports (slab bolsters or re-bar chairs) as required to meet specification requirements.

B. Plastic Concrete Depth Checks During the concrete placement operation, the inspector must perform random plastic concrete depth checks at each 3 m (10 feet) test station. As a minimum, perform three depth checks to measure the total deck thickness and reinforcing steel cover as the same location checked during the inspection of the "dry run". The depth checks should be performed at the location of the finishing machine. Record the measurements directly into the table below the corresponding "dry run" measurements. A wide blade putty knife works well to measure the concrete cover over the top mat of reinforcing steel. The knife blade should be turned perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the upper reinforcing bar to obtain an accurate measurement.

MEASURING DEPTH OF COVER/TOTAL DEPTH OF

PLASTIC CONCRETE ON BRIDGE DECKS

A small diameter metal rod works well to measure the concrete cover over the top mat of reinforcing steel. The knife blade should be turned perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the upper reinforcing bar to obtain an accurate measurement. Different tools can be used to perform the plastic concrete depth checks as long as accurate measurements are obtained. The purpose of performing the plastic concrete depth check is to check that the actual dead load camber deflection of all the girders is occurring as anticipated and in proper relationship to each other. The plastic concrete depth checks also assure that the top mat of reinforcing steel remains in proper position during the concrete placement operation. If significant deficiencies are encountered, the placement operation should be stopped and the situation must be investigated to determine possible causes. If corrective action cannot be taken, a bulkhead form should be placed and the operation stopped.

C. Hardened Concrete Testing

After the concrete has hardened, and after the completion of the specified

curing period, the depth of the top mat of reinforcing steel may be measured

by use of a pachometer in accordance with PTM No. 419.

Pachometer testing should be performed at deck locations where concrete

cover deficiencies are identified by the plastic concrete depth check

measurement, or as directed by the Engineer.

When required, the total depth of the hardened deck can be determined by

obtaining full depth cores in areas suspected of having deficient deck

thickness. Record all measurements directly into the corresponding area of the

table.

PA Test Method No. 419

These types of pachometers are capable of measuring the depth of reinforcing steel of 125 mm (5") or more within ± 3 mm (± 1/8") overall accuracy. These are portable units that measure steel reinforcing bar depth by means of magnetic detection of ferrous metal.
