Installation

Seat these bearings on flat, smooth concrete free of voids using preformed bearing pads as mentioned in the "Design Section." If a grout pad is specified, it should be a high-strength non-shrink material. Epoxy grout may serve to correct seating inaccuracies.

These bearings “rock” quite easily, and special fixtures or temporary structures may be required to prevent unwanted movement during the erection of all bridge structural elements.
