1. Scope:
This Method statement covers the material used in manufacturing of Spherical Bearing & Its
Installation.
2. Function:
This bearing only takes care of vertical load and horizontal force due to sliding friction. The
bearing will permit uniaxial translatory movement along longitudinal axis of the bridge and rotation
along all axes.
3. Reference :
4. STAFF RESPONSIBILITIES:-
The responsibility for correct and safe execution of the works falls within the Project in-charge with
delegated responsibility to the Section Manager. The section Manager further delegate
responsibility to engineer & Supervisor.
The entire operation shall be carried out under supervision of well trained and experience personal

9. SEQUENCE OF WORK:
Delivery Inspection & Storage of Spherical Bearing on Site after Surface preparation.
Educating team about Construction Work Procedure (CWP).
Cleaning of all-round the pier &pier cap top and bearing pedestal top.
Cleaning of all sleeve holes.
Measurement of sleeve holes depth.
Corrective measures if any variation in sleeve depth.
Packing of Jack.
Alignment of span by surveyor.
Before placing of the bearing check the Markings around the bearing as per IRC-83 Part IV(Page
33,clause no 7.8)
Placing of bearing over pedestal.
Fixing of bearing with segment bottom.
Fixing of bearing with pedestal Top.
Grouting of bearing at bottom and top including sleeve holes and in-between gaps.
De-shuttering.
Curing.
The construction team shall be educated about the approved Construction Work Procedure
(CWP) by Construction manager.
The factory made Spherical bearings duly approved, tested and inspected by third consultant for
use shall be delivered to site. Each Spherical bearing shall be clearly labeled and marked. The
Bearing shall be wrapped in a cover. They shall be packed in crates with suitable arrangement to
prevent movement and to protect corners and edges. Care shall be taken to avoid any damage,
contamination with oil, grease, dirt, and undue exposure to sunlight and weather.
The concrete surface of the Pedestal in contact with Spherical bearing shall be cleaned and
smoothened before installation of Spherical bearing. It shall be cleaned to remove any loosely
adherent material, grease & oil so as to form a proper bonding between the concrete and Spherical
bearing. Soak the grouting concrete area with fresh potable water 4 hours before grouting and
remove the free water before grouting starts, using sponge.
Before starting the permanent bearings installation and span adjustment check.
The spherical bearing has been checked and approved by client.
That the horizontal surface of the elastomeric bearing is cleaned of grease/dust/sand.
Installation of multiple bearing one behind the other on a single line of support should have same
dimension .
Bearing placed between true horizontal surfaces (Max. Tolerance 0.2 % perpendicular to the load)
and at true plan position of their control line marked on receiving surface (Max. Tolerance +/-3
mm).
Concrete surfaces shall be free from local irregularities (Max. Tolerance +/-3 mm in height).
Design shall be checked for the actual inclination in seating if accuracy deviated more than
specified limit.
Cast in place formwork around the bearings shall be soft enough for its easy removal. From shall
also fit the bearings snugly and prevent any leakage of mortar grout. Mortar contaminating the
bearing during concreting shall be completely removed before setting.
If the bearing are to be installed on pre-cast concrete or steel super structure elements, epoxy resin
adhesive may be applied on interface, after proper surface preparation.
Installation of multiple bearing one behind the other on single line of support should have some
Dimensions.
Bearing placed between the horizontal surface (Max tolerance 0.2% perpendicular to land and the
true plan position of their control line marked on receiving surface (Max. Tolerance +/-3mm)
D-If correction is more than 25 mm the existing pedestal shall be broken from top up to the
Reinforcement level and it shall be re-casted with micro concrete up to desired level. Before
application of micro concrete over old existing concrete the existing surface shall be kept moist
and coat of NITOBOND EP shall be applied to from a firm bond between both old and new
Concrete.
D-If pedestal level is more than required the grinding of concrete surface shall be done for 6-8 mm
Design shall be checked for the actual inclination in seating if accuracy deviated more the specified
limit.
For fixing of bearing on down gradient and up gradient, the bearing shall be glued to down stand
With rubber solution adhesive or with clamping arrangement of bearing giving bottom support.
The span shall be then the lifted to required level and the gap be filled with EP-75 or with GP2 as
Applicable and stated above. Final load to given only after 24 hours for EP-75 and 24 hours for
GP2.
If the bearing is to be installed precast concrete or steel superstructure elements, epoxy resin
Adhesive may be applied on interface after proper surface preparation.
8. Check the survey and adjust the span transverse position and longitudinal position.
The Spherical bearing shall be positioned and placed on the Concrete Pedestal as per drawing. The
bearing shall be aligned to the line and level approximately to final requirement.
10.7 Curing
Immediately after De shuttering is completed, the bearing grout shall be cured with Hessian cloth or
for seven days.
