AASHTO Bearing Pads

AASHTO-M-251

Description:
Neoprene Bearing Pads provide a
uniform transfer of load from
beam to structure. They permit
rotation at the bearing point due
to deflection or misalignment.
They absorb vibration and
prevent sound transfer, while
reducing the destructive action of
vibration between movable and
stationary members. They also
provide for movement caused by Elastomer Neoprene
normal expansion and
contraction.
Color Black
Neoprene Bearing Pads are
used extensively in bridge
structures and prestressed and Durometer 55-65
precast concrete buildings. (Shore A)
Also used in industrial
machinery and heavy Typical Tensile 2800
equipment applications.
