Plate rubber bearings are made of multiple layers of natural rubber pads that are vulcanized, bonded, and then sandwiched with steel bars. They have sufficient rigidity and elasticity to transfer all the loads on the bridge span structure to the bridge piers, and can withstand the horizontal displacement, rotation, and deformation caused by the load.

Plate rubber bearings can reduce the vibration of the bridge piers and absorb the horizontal movement of the bridge span structure caused by temperature changes and thermal expansion.

Structure：

Plate rubber bearing pads can be divided into standard plate bearing pads and sliding plate bearing pads.

Standard plate rubber bearing pads are composed of natural rubber or neoprene and reinforced steel plate.
Sliding laminated bearing pads are composed of natural rubber or neoprene, reinforced steel plate and polytetrafluoroethylene sliding plate.
