DIN EN 1337-1:2018-02

This part of this European Standard specifies general rules for design, manufacturing, protection, transport, storage,installation, and inspection of structural bearings for use in bridges and other structures, e. g. buildings.This European Standard does not give rules for - bearings subjected to uplift forces; - bearings for the specific moving function of moveable bridges (for example bascule bridges, lift bridges etc); - concrete hinges; - levelling pads. It may be used for guidance in the case of temporary bearings and the principles may be applied to the design andmanufacture of other types of structural bearings not included in this European Standard.If bearings are used as or as part of anti-seismic devices with the aim of modifying the dynamic response of the structure, EN15129 also applies.This document shall be used in conjunction with the other relevant parts of EN 1337 series.
