BEARINGS

Bridge abutments are a critical element in supporting and distributing loads.

Tetron CD with Chamber

Reliable

Durable

Innovative

Tetron CD chamber bearings have been developed by Freyssinet, they include limited elastomeric discs, and constitute the connection between the structure and its support. These bearings have the following advantages:

1. They withstand small and very vertical loads.

2. They transmit large vertical and horizontal forces although they have generally small dimensions.

Elastometallic Bearings

Effectively

Finance

Advanced

At the beginning of the 20th century, the use of reinforced concrete, and especially prestressed concrete, began, the development of which was rapid, especially after World War II, resulting in structures becoming increasingly elongated. The large movements in structures led to the introduction of bearings that utilized the capacity of rubber.

SPHERICAL S3 Bearings

Excellent

Sustainable

The SPHERICAL S3 bearings by Freyssinet are of advanced technology and provide complete "freedom in construction" in rotational and horizontal sliding. All Freyssinet bearings are manufactured in accordance with the standard BS 5400: Section 9.2:1983.

Tetron Disc Bearings

Qualitative

Excellent

The design and manufacturing of Tetron Disc bearing is the result of decades of experience in solving problems in civil engineering projects. The Tetron Disc bearings offer:

~ Low sliding friction - very important in the design of elongated foundations.

~ Low rotational resistance - in full rotation, the load application point moves approximately 5% of the basic dimension.
