    The document discusses standards and specifications for the design of railway bridge bearings, focusing on the use and configuration of PTFE and design considerations for pot bearings and steel stresses.

    PTFE can be used as dimpled large sheets or rectangular modules arranged in an array. The thickness and protrusion of the PTFE is related to its plan dimension based on specifications.

    The design horizontal force is the resultant of active horizontal forces from analysis and friction forces, but must be between 10-25% of the vertical load.

    PTFE :

    a) BS:3784 grade A. Specification for poly tetrafluroethylene (PTFE) sheet.


    b) IRC:83 (Part-III) for permissible pressure on confined PTFE.
    c) BS:5350: Standard method of test for adhesives, Part- C9, Floating Roller Peel T
    Codes Of Practice:
    In absence of standard code of practice for Railway Bridges, the design of
    bearings to Railway Bridges is done in accordance with following documents:
    i) IRS Bridge Rules
    ii) IRS Steel Bridge Code
    iii) IRC-83 Standard specifications and code of practice for Road
    Bridges, Section:IX Bearings, Part-III: Pot, Pot-cum-PTFE, Pin and metallic guide
    bearings. The relevant clauses for design are discussed as under:
    Design of PTFE Guided Sliding Assembly
    PTFE shall be located into recess of a sufficiently rigid metal backing plate by
    confinement and shall either be dimpled large sheet(s) or an array of solid (i.e.,
    without dimples) rectangular modules of size 80mm x 50mm. The dimpled large
    sheets shall be circular or rectangular in shape and may be subdivided into a
    maximum of four parts. For dimpled sheets with smallest dimension (diameter or
    smaller side) exceeding 100mm, contact area shall be taken as the gross area
    without deduction for the area of the dimples. In arrayed PTFE layout the distance
    between the individual modules shall not be more than 10mm. The shoulders of
    the recess should be sharp and square to restrict the flow of PTFE. The thickness
    of the PTFE and its protrusion from the recess should be related to its maximum
    plan dimension in accordance with Table 1.

    Design Horizontal Force:


    For design of Pot bearings or part thereof the design horizontal force to be considered shall be
    the resultant of the coexisting active horizontal force, determined from global analysis, and
    included horizontal forces, generated due to friction at sliding interface (if any), but shall in no
    case be less than 10 percent and greater than 25 percent of the design vertical load.

    Permissible stresses in steel


    Permissible stress in axial tension

    at shall not exceed 0.6 fy, where fy

    = minimum yield stress of steel in MPa.


    Maximum bending stress in tension ( bt) or in compression ( bc) in
    extreme fibre shall not exceed 0.66 fy.
    Maximum shear stress ( vm) shall not exceed 0.45 fy.

    Maximum bearing stress ( p) shall not exceed 0.75 fy.
