A transition construction for bridging a building joint between two component parts of a building with at least one cover element that at least partially covers the building joint. The cover element is attached to a component part of the building via an anchoring structure, wherein the anchoring structure is configured such that the at least one cover element is selectively supported.

Transition construction for bridging a building joint

A sliding pendulum bearing is used to protect a construction against dynamic stresses from predominantly horizontal earthquake excitation with a first sliding plate, a second sliding plate and a slider movably arranged between both sliding plates, wherein each of the two sliding plates has a curved main sliding surface and the slider is in surface contact with a first main sliding surface of the first sliding plate and with a second main sliding surface of the second sliding plate, wherein the first main sliding surface is designed for a first load case and the second main sliding surface is designed for a second load case which differs from the first load case.

Sliding pendulum bearing and method of dimensioning such a bearing

A structural bearing is provided having at least one sliding element made of a sliding material that contains at least one polymeric plastic, wherein the siding material has a melting point temperature of more than 210&#xb0; C. and a modulus of elasticity in tension according to DIN ISO 527-2 of less than 1800 MPa.

Structural bearing

A bridging device in center girder construction for a building joint between two building components having at least two edge girders and at least one center girder arranged between the edge girders and on at least one cross member bridging the building joint that each have a cross member bearing for bearing the cross member on the respective building components at their lateral ends. The object of the present invention is to provide a novel bridging device that is formed in particular space-saving. The initially described bridging device has a cross member having at least two cross member segments arranged along a longitudinal axis of the cross member and arranged displaceable relative to each other toward the longitudinal axis, so the length of the cross member is variable.

Bridging device

An energy dissipating device which is capable of dissipating energy through its plastic axial deformation without undergoing buckling comprises at least three hysteretic elements, being interconnected in series in such a way, that at least one hysteretic element will be subjected to compression while at least another hysteretic element is subjected to tension when an external load is applied to the energy dissipating device.

Energy dissipating device

A bridging device for joint gaps () between building parts () including bridge parts, with an expansion joint construction () bridging a joint gap (). The expansion joint construction () permits position changes of the building parts () with respect to one another. A safety construction () is provided which permits a position change of the building parts () with respect to one another without a separation destroying the function of the bridging device. The safety construction () comprises at least two mutually firmly connected elements which upon exceeding of a defined threshold load are separated and movable with respect to one another. One element is firmly arranged on one of the building parts () and the other element is part of the expansion joint construction () or receives the latter. The two connected element are defined by a rail ()and a slide (). The slide () is displaceable in the rail () in order to balance shifting movements including transversal movements between bridge parts.

Bridging device for joint gaps

A device for bridging expansion joints in bridges or the like is provided with parallel lamellae arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the traffic route. The lamellae are supported on at least two inclined traverses which are pivoted and movably supported at both sides in the joint edges, which bridge said joint diagonally with respect to the longitudinal axis, and are rotatably and movably guided in sliding drag bearings at the bottoms of the lamellae. The inclined traverses are arranged parallel to each other, whereby the support width of the lamellae is always uniform. At least one longitudinal traverse which is movably connected the longitudinal direction with each lamellae via sliding bearings fixed at the bottoms of the lamellae is provided for, preferably at the edge, for taking up the forces which inevitably occur due to movements of the bridge superstructure.
