  2. Slide plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slide_plate

    The plates provide a surface with a low coefficient of friction which can be attached to a supporting structure. This combination provides support while simultaneously allowing an object to move (slide) freely along the supporting surface. [1] The plate may be of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE),TEF-MET, [2] Lubrite [3] or steel according to the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bascule_bridge

  4. Incremental launch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_launch

    The first section of the launch, the launching nose, is not made of concrete, but is a stiffened steel plate girder and is around 60% of the length of a bridge span, and reduces the cantilever moment. [3] The sections of bridge deck slide over sliding bearings, which are concrete blocks covered with stainless steel and reinforced elastomeric pads.

  5. Bridge protection systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bridge_protection_systems

    floating systems (cable nets and pontoons) have multiple problems from low efficiency to high construction and maintenance costs and environmental impacts, and are therefore used as a last resort, when the location of the bridge precludes the use of other designs. [8]

  6. Pin and hanger assembly - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_and_hanger_assembly

    Pin and hanger assembly. A pin and hanger assembly is used to connect two plate girders of a bridge.These assemblies are used to provide an expansion joint in the bridge. One beam (the anchor span) is set on a pier with a short section cantilevered out toward the next pier.

  9. Pontoon bridge - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontoon_bridge

    A pontoon bridge (or ponton bridge), also known as a floating bridge, uses floats or shallow-draft boats to support a continuous deck for pedestrian and vehicle travel. The buoyancy of the supports limits the maximum load that they can carry.
