Bridge Expansion Joint Profiles and Elastomeric Bearings

BRIDGE EXPANSION JOINTS
Bridge beams move due to seismic loads, wind, thermal changes and braking loads. Fort his reasoni they need expansion joints. All expansion joints are designed to absorb movements and  expansion of the structure.

Arfen steel expansion joints, waterproof rubber components in our factory and steel plates, high temperature and under pressure by combining the movements  is a joint system that could absorb.

Arfen bridge expansion joints provide a durable solution guaranteed against corrosion. Rubber surface is durable against to oil, grease, petrol, sunbeams, chemicals, snow and salting. All expansion joints are designed to absorb movements and expansion of the structure.

Arfen bridge expansion joints can also be used on walkways and steel infrastructures. Rubber upper surface provides less sound and vibration.

ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS
Arfen bridge bearings consisting of a waterproof rubber and steel plates which transfers the loads rightly from capbeams to the bridge columns . This system produces in factory under high temperature and pressure with natural rubber (NR) or chloroprene (CR) plates and steel plates . Steel plates vulcanized with rubber material therefore compozite and strong system has been obtained for loads.

Arfen bearings designed and manufactured accordance with recent technology to transfer every kind of loads (trafic loads, seismic loads, wind loads etc.) from the upper structure to the legs of the bridges.

This system is giving to ARFEN bridge bearings corrosion guaranteed durable solution. Rubber surface is durable against to oil, grease, petrol, sunbeams, chemicals, snow and salting.

Arfen bridge bearings have service life more than 80 years under normal conditions and maintance conditions.

Our products are manufactured in accordance with the required standards.
