1.01 DESCRIPTION OF WORK
A. Elastomeric bearings as herein specified shall include plain bearing (consisting)
of elastomer only) and laminated bearings (consisting of layers of elastomer
restrained at their interfaces by bonded laminates.
1.02 QUALITY ASSURANCE
‘A. Whenever practical, the mechanical properties of the finished bearing shall be
verified by laboratory test.
The following values shall be met under laboratory testing conditions of full size
bearings:
a. Compressive strain of any layer of an elastomeric bearing shall not exceed
T-percent at 800-psi (5.516 Mpa) average unit pressure, or at the design
dead load plus live load pressure if so indicated on the plans.
b. .. The shear resistance of the bearing shall not exceed 30-psi (.207 Mpa) for
50-durometer, 40-psi (.276 Mpa) for 60-durometer of 50-psi (.345 Mpa) for
70-durometer, Table A compounds, nor 50-psi (.345 Mpa) for 50-
durometer, 75-psi (.517 Mpa) for 60-durometer or 110-psi (.758 Mpa) for
70-durometer Table B compounds at 25-percent strain of the total effective
rubber thickness after an extended four-day ambient temperature of-20F (-
28.9C).

ovo 2.01 MATERIALS
The elastomer portion of the elastomeric compound shall be 100 percent virgin natural
polyisoprene (natural rubber) meeting the requirements of Table A or 100 percent virgin
chloroprene (neoprene) meeting the requirements of Table B, as specified by SAUDI
ARAMCO. Compounds of nominal hardness between the values shown may be used
and the test requirements interpolated. When test specimens are cut from the finished
product a 10-percent variation in “Physical Properties” will be allowed.
Laminates shall be rolled mild stee! sheets conforming to AASHTO M 183 (ASTM A36)
