 ABOUT US
OZDEKAN RUBBER is one of the leading manufactures in the rubber
industries since 1982. Established in Ostim Organized Industrial Zone,
Ankara, and continuing engineering and manufacturing activities within
the years, it has become a well-known trade mark in the Turkey and

N
worldwide. Our company manufactures more than 2000 tons of rubber
products per year and our engineers and design teams support our
customers in selection of bridge bearing, providing a service beyond
that of manufacturing of elastomeric bearings. Our company is
capable of manufacturing different sizes of elastomeric bearings

A
varying from 150 mm to 1500 mm in diameter with different
geometrical properties. Ozdekan applies quality control tests at all
phases of production process and performs required tests in
conjunction with university laboratory according to different
international standards. Ozdekan holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 18001, BS
OHSAS 18001 and manufacturing capacity certificate from Turkish
EK
government and trade mark. On the following pages, we provide
information about elastomeric bearings. Please contact us for further
information, as we are always pleased to assist our customers and
consulting engineers.

 PLAIN PAD BEARINGS

Elastomeric bearings consisting of a solid block of vulcanised elastomer without internal cavities are called plain
pads. Plain pads are economical efficient support for precast and pre-stressed concrete or steel beams in bridges
and buildings. These pads are designed according to EN 1337-3 and shear modulus of the manufactured elastomer
may vary between 0.6-1.35 MPa to meet the customers need.

LAMINATED ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS

Elastomeric bearings reinforced internally with one or more steel plates, chemically bonded during vulcanisation are

N
called laminatid elastomeric bearings.

Elastomeric bearings permit a smooth and uniform transfer of loads from beams to substructure and also allow
beam rotations at the point of support due to deflection of beam under loading.

A
They further allow lateral and longitudinal movement of beams caused by thermal forces. Elastomeric bearings have
no moving parts and thermal expansion and contractions are supported by shear capacity of elastomers. There is
no sliding motion between bearing and beam or between bearing and abutment.

FABRICATION AND TESTS

Reinforced elastomeric bearings are made up of multiple laminates of elastomeric material and are equipped with
steel reinforcing plates during the vulcanisation process. The steel sheets provide the necessary stiffness in vertical
direction. There are different types of reinforced elastomeric bearings and these types are classified as Type A, B, C,
D, E and F in the EN 1337-3 and all types are manufactured in our factory. Table 2 and 3 present the standart sizes for
bearings type B according to EN 13337-3. Vertical loading capacity, rotational capacity and horizontal displacement
capacity of the bearing are calculated according to EN 1337-3. However it should be mentioned taht for a specific
project, different size and shapes of elastomeric bearings can be designed and maufactured in our factory. Different
tests on elastomeric bearings can be conducted such as;
O

- Shear modulus test (at nominal, low and very low temperature)
- Shear modulus after aging
- Shear bond strength test (at ambient and after aging condition)
- Compression test
- Resistance to ozone test

 GUIDED ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS

The bearings we have defined so far are the basic types, which constant feature is the fact that they allow all-ways
movements and rotation. However, movements can be limited in one or all ways, thus obtaining guided or fixed
bearings, respectively. In the first case –guided bearings- the restriction is obtained by means of guides parallel to
the supporting axe that allows movement. To make friction as low as possible, DU and stainless steel sheets are
welded to the guides.

 FIXED ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS

If, on the contrary, a fixed bearing is desired, guides are added parallel to both axes, so that movement is completely
blocked.
