The objective of this Part (AS $100.4) is to spectfy requirements for the design and selection of bearings and deck joints for bridges in Australia. ‘The requirements of the AS(AS/NZS} 5100 series are based on the principles of structural mechanics and knowledge of material properties, for both the conceptual and detailed design, 10 achieve acceptable probabilities that the bridge or associated structure being designed will not become unfit for use during its design life. Whereas earlier editions of the Bridge design series were essentially administered by the infrastructure owners and applied to their own inventory, sin increasing number of bridges ave being built under the design-construct-operate principle and being handed over to the relevant statutory authority afler several years of operation, This Standard includes clauses intended to facilitate the specificatiar to the designer of the functional requirements of the owner, to ensure the long-term performance and serviceability of the bridge and associated strueni, wnificant differences between this Standard and AS $100.4—2004 are the follawing: (Tables of standard elastomeric bearing properties have all been updated to add additional numbers of elustomet layers in each plan size. (i) The requirements for the sealing rings of pot bearing have been modified (iii) Spherical advanced composite material bearings have been intraduced. iv) The movement range deck jaints need to be designed for haye been modified. (vy) Load distribution from bearings to concrete surfaces has been introduced, (vi) Project-specific requirements (Appendix E) have been added, (vil) Provisions for modular bridge expansion joints (MBES) have been added, In ling with Standards Austratia policy, the words ‘shall” and ‘may are used consistently throughout this Standard to indieate, -espectively, a mandatory provision and an acceptable ‘or pertnissibie alternative, ‘Statements expressed in mandatory teris in Notes to Tables arc deemed to be requirements of this Standard, The term ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the application of the appendix to which it applies.
