Structural bearings - Part 5: Pot bearings

This part of EN 1337 specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of pot bearings which will be used for operating temperatures between - 40 °C and 50 °C.
This part of EN 1337 does not apply to pot bearings made with other materials than those specified in clause 5.
Bearings which are subjected to rotation ad greater than 0,030 rad (see Figure 2) under the characteristic combination of actions or which incorporate elastomeric pads larger than 1500 mm in diameter are beyond the scope of this document.
Depending on the climatic region where the construction work is located the bearings can be designed to one of the following classes related to minimum operating temperatures (the minimum shade air temperatures): - 25 °C or - 40 °C.
When required to accommodate translational movements, pot bearings may be combined with sliding elements in accordance with EN 1337-2.
NOTE   The minimum shade air temperature for a location should be obtained from meteorological data appropriate to a 120 year return period. Consideration should be given to adjustment of this temperature for height and local divergence such as frost pockets and sheltered low-lying areas if the data obtained applies to a general area rather than to a specific location.

Lager im Bauwesen - Teil 5: Topflager

Dieser Teil von EN 1337 legt die Anforderungen an die Bemessung und die Herstellung von Topflagern für Betriebstemperaturen zwischen -40 °C und 50 °C fest.
Dieser Teil von EN 1337 gilt nicht für Topflager, die aus anderen Materialien als die in Abschnitt 5 aufgeführten bestehen.
Lager, die unter der charakteristischen Kombination von Einwirkungen Verdrehungen ad von mehr als 0,030 Radian ausgesetzt sind (siehe Bild 2) oder die Elastomerkissen mit einem Durchmesser größer als 1500 mm enthalten, sind nicht Gegenstand dieser Europäischen Norm.
In Abhängigkeit von der Klimazone, in der sich das Bauwerk befindet, können die Lager für eine der folgenden Klassen der Mindestbetriebstemperatur (Mindestlufttemperatur im Schatten) bemessen werden: -25 °C oder -40 °C.
Zur Aufnahme von Tragwerksverschiebungen können Topflager mit Gleitteilen nach EN 1337-2 kombiniert werden.
ANMERKUNG   Die Mindestlufttemperatur im Schatten für einen Ort sollte aus meteorologischen Daten für eine Wiederkehrperiode von 120 Jahren entnommen werden. Diese Temperatur kann abhängig von Höhe und örtlichen Abweichungen, wie z. B. Mulden mit erhöhter Frostbildung sowie geschützte tief liegende Gegenden, modifiziert werden, sofern sich die Daten auf eine Gegend im Allgemeinen eher als auf einen bestimmten Ort beziehen.

Appareils d'appui structuraux - Partie 5: Appareils d'appui a pot

La présente partie de l'EN 1337 spécifie les exigences pour la conception et la fabrication d'appareils d'appui a pot destinés a une utilisation a des températures de service comprises entre - 40 °C et 50 °C.
La présente partie de l'EN 1337 ne s'applique pas aux appareils d'appui a pot constitués d'un matériau différent de ceux spécifiés a l'Article 5.
Les appareils d'appui soumis a une rotation ad supérieure a 0,030 rad (voir Figure 2) sous la combinaison caractéristique d'actions ou ceux qui comportent des coussins en élastomere de diametre supérieur a 1 500 mm n'entrent pas dans le domaine d'application du  présent document.
Selon le climat de la région ou l'ouvrage est situé, les appareils d'appui peuvent etre conçus pour appartenir a une des classes suivantes, liées aux températures de service minimales (températures minimales a l'ombre) : - 25 °C ou - 40 °C.
Lorsque les appareils d'appui a pot doivent supporter des mouvements en translation, il est possible de les combiner avec des éléments de glissement conformes a l'EN 1337-2.
NOTE   Il convient d'obtenir la température minimale a l'ombre d'un lieu a partir de données météorologiques appropriées pour une période de retour de 120 ans. Il convient de considérer l'ajustement de cette température a l'altitude et aux divergences locales telles que les poches de gelée et les zones basses abritées, dans le cas ou les données obtenues s'appliquent a une zone générale et non a un lieu particulier.

EN 1337-5:2005 (E) 9 4 Functional requirements 4.1 General A pot bearing shall be capable of transferring applied vertical and horizontal loads between the superstructure and substructure and shall permit limited rotational movement (see 6.1.2). The internal seal system shall prevent extrusion of the elastomer from the pot. These requirements shall be met with adequate reliability and durability, see EN 1990. It is assumed that adequate reliability, durability, load bearing capacity and rotation capability result from adopting the design procedures given in clauses 5 and 6.
When using an internal seal system indicated in annex A, pot bearings designed and used in accordance with this part of EN 1337 are considered to meet the aforementioned requirements. 4.2 Tests for durability When necessary (see 5.4) the long term functioning according to 4.1 shall be tested in accordance with annex E. Acceptance criteria for these tests are:  there shall be no extrusion of cohesive elastomeric material.  the compression deformation under the test load shall have not increased for at least 24 h. NOTE Wear of the seal and discoloration of the lubricant is acceptable in these tests. 5 Materials 5.1 General Materials used for the manufacture of pot bearings shall be in accordance with the requirements given in the following sub-clauses.
5.2 Ferrous materials for pot and piston The pot and piston shall be manufactured from ferrous materials in accordance with one of the following standards: EN 10025, EN 10083-3, EN 10113-1, EN 10088-2, ISO 3755, ISO 1083. Specification and certification of material shall correspond to the requirements for resistance and durability, weldability, if applicable, and the operating temperature specified (see clause 1). 5.3 Elastomeric materials The elastomer material used for the elastomeric pad shall be natural or polychloroprene rubber in accordance with ISO 6446.
5.4 Internal seal Suitable internal seals are given in annex A.
The internal seals given in annex A shall be classified with regard to the standard accumulated slide path, given in annex E as follows:



EN 1337-5:2005 (E) 10  Seals according to A.1.1
accumulated slide path “b”, 1000 m  Seals according to A.1.2 and A.1.3
accumulated slide path “c”, 2000 m  Seals according to A.1.4
accumulated slide path “a”, 500 m NOTE All seals given in annex A can be considered as suitable, according to the state of the art. Internal seals made from materials not specified in annex A are beyond the scope of this standard and the test procedures described herein are not necessarily applicable, particularly with regard to long term effects. For a seal system not specified in annex A, the ability of a pot bearing to satisfy these requirements shall be verified by testing in accordance with 4.2. 5.5 Lubricant The lubricant shall not be harmful to the elastomer or other components and shall not cause excessive swelling of the elastomer. Swelling of the elastomer is excessive when the relative change in weight is ≥ 8 % at 50 °C. 6 Design requirements 6.1 Design fundamentals 6.1.1 Principles of design calculation For the design of bearings, the principles given in clause 5 of EN 1337-1:2000 apply. The design values of the effects (forces, deformations, movements) from the actions at the supports of the structure shall be calculated from the relevant combination of actions according to EN 1990. NOTE
The decisive design values are assumed to be available from a bearing schedule as shown in prEN 1993-2. Until prEN 1993-2 is available the guidance given in annex B of EN 1337-1:2000 may be used. 6.1.2 Rotation limitation 6.1.2.1 General The relationship between the permanent and variable rotation angles is shown in Figure 2.

Key 1 Starting position (after installation) 2 Position due to rotation α1 caused by permanent actions α2min, α2 max negative and positive rotation angles due to variable loads. ∆α2 range of rotation angles due to extreme positions of variable loads αmax = α1 + α2max
(1) Figure 2 — Diagramatic representation of rotation angles 6.1.2.2 Rotation limitation Under the characteristic combination of actions the maximum rotation αdmax shall not exceed 0,03 rad. Under the frequent combination of actions the difference in rotation ∆αd2 shall not exceed 0,005 rad. 6.1.2.3 Variable rotation Variable rotations result in an accumulated slide path, which affects the durability of the internal seal.
When required the actual accumulated slide path SA,d shall be calculated with data provided by the bridge designer using the following formula: 22vdA,DnS×∆×=α (2) TdA,scS×≤ (3) in which: SA,d = actual accumulated slide path due to characteristic traffic loads nv = number of vehicles (lorries) for the intended life of the bearing c = factor to correct for the difference between the constant amplitude slide path used in the tests and the variable amplitude movements which actually occur due to traffic (equals :5)



EN 1337-5:2005 (E) 12 sT = accumulated slide path a,b or c in accordance with 5.4 or derived from testing in accordance with annex E It is assumed that ∆α2 has been determined using an appropriate single vehicle model. In the absence of such data, Fatigue Load Model 3 in accordance with ENV 1993-3 should be used. NOTE The field of application of the internal seals corresponding to the technical classes listed in 5.4 is given in annex G, provided that no calculative verification is carried out. 6.1.3 Restraint moments due to rotation 6.1.3.1 Restraint due to rotation of elastomeric pad and internal seal For the verification of the adjacent structural parts the maximum value of the restraint moment Memax of the elastomeric pad shall be assumed to be: Memax = 32 × d3 × (F0 + (F1 × α1)+(F2 × α2max)) (4) where: F0, F1 & F2 shall be determined from type tests conducted in accordance with annex D. d is the diameter of elastomeric pad (mm) Memax is the restraint moment from the pad α1
is the resultant rotation angle due to permanent actions effects, in radians (rad), see Figure 2. α2max
is the resultant rotation angle due to variable actions, in radians (rad) see Figure 2. 6.1.3.2 Resistance to rotation due to pot/piston contact The additional moment Mµmax caused by friction at the pot/piston contact surface shall be considered. In determining this moment the maximum coefficient of friction between the pot wall and the piston shall be taken as 0,2. 6.1.3.3 Total restraint due to rotation The total restraint due to rotation to be considered in the design of the adjacent structure and bearing components shall be taken as the vectorial sum of the moments determined in accordance with 6.1.3.1 and 6.1.3.2. 6.1.4 Vertical deformation If the elastic compression stiffness of the bearing is of relevance to the design of the adjacent structure it shall be determined by means of testing (see annex B). 6.1.5 Load distribution through components The load dispersion angle through a component, as shown in Figure 3, shall be taken as 45° unless a greater angle is justified by calculations which take into account the characteristics of the adjacent components, materials and structural members. In no case shall the load dispersion angle exceed 60°.

Key 1 Load dispersion angle Figure 3 — Load distribution through components 6.1.6 Combination with sliding elements When a pot bearing is combined with a sliding element in accordance with EN 1337-2, the interaction of the respective components particularly with regard to their relative stress and strain shall be considered. Additional mechanical and geometrical effects e.g. due to lateral forces in guides (friction, couple from action and reaction) causing eccentricities additional to those resulting from resistance to rotation as given in 6.1.3 shall be taken into account. 6.2 Design verification 6.2.1 Elastomeric pad 6.2.1.1 Contact stress The design axial force NSd shall meet the following condition under the fundamental combination of actions: NSd ≤ NRd Where: MRkRdγNN= is the design value of resistance of the elastomeric pad (5) NRk is the characteristic value of resistance of the elastomeric pad The characteristic value of the resistance shall be determined from: ke,2Rkf4××=dNπwhere: (6) d is the diameter of elastomeric pad (mm) fe,k is the characteristic contact strength of the elastomer given by fe,k = 60 N/mm2
NOTE 1 The compressive resistance fe,k of the elastomer in pot bearings, that leads to NRk is limited by the effectiveness of the seal preventing the elastomer from extruding between the piston and the pot wall.



EN 1337-5:2005 (E) 14 NOTE 2 The partial factor γM may be chosen in the National Annex of the relevant Eurocode.
The recommended value of γM = 1,30. 6.2.1.2 Minimum thickness
Figure 4 — Permissible deflection in elastomeric pad The dimensions of the elastomeric pad shall be such that under the characteristic combination of actions the total rotation α dmax (see Figure 2) does not cause a deflection, ∆t, at the perimeter greater than 15 % of the pad thickness t (See Figure 4). To comply with this requirement the minimum elastomeric pad thickness shall be: dt××=maxdmin3,33α (7) In addition the elastomeric pad thickness, tmin, shall not be less than 15d 6.2.2 Pot For designing the pot to accommodate the lateral elastomeric pressure and the forces due to applied horizontal actions, the design stresses in the pot shall not exceed the design value of the yield strength at any section due to the fundamental combinations of actions.



EN 1337-5:2005 (E) 15
Figure 5 — Types of pot construction
The analysis of the pot shall be based on the following assumptions: – The analytical model comprises the pot as well as the adjacent structural members and the boundary conditions due to fixing devices.  The elastomeric pad is assumed to have hydrostatic characteristics under pressure.  The pressure between piston and pot walls resulting from external horizontal actions is assumed to be parabolically distributed over half of the perimeter and the maximum value is taken as 1,5 times the mean value. Instead of a precise calculation under the above conditions (e.g. by means of finite element method) it is admissible to verify a pot designed according to Figures 5a) to c) by using the following simplified formulae considering the pot walls and the pot base as separate components. For this procedure the thickness of the pot base shall be at least 12 mm.

6.2.3 Piston/pot contact 6.2.3.1 General The contact face of the piston may be designed as flat in accordance with 6.2.3.2 provided that the width of the piston contact face, w, is less than 15 mm (see Figure 6). The mechanical resistance of contact faces shall be verified for the fundamental combination of actions in accordance with 6.2.3.2 or 6.2.3.3.

There is not a constant relationship between hardness and yield stress of steel but there is between hardness and ultimate strength. Consequently the above expressions are based on the ultimate strength of the material. NOTE 2 A force concentration factor 1,5 is included in the factor 15 (see 6.2.2).
