Pin Bearing
Pin bearings play a crucial role in stabilizing bridges by anchoring one end of the structure or span. This ensures the bridge remains oriented and protected from disorientation. Pin bearings are often used in combination with other bearing types, such as free bearings or guide bearings, to provide overall stability.
​
The primary function of pin bearings is to resist maximum horizontal forces, while they are not designed to withstand vertical loads. By combining pin bearings with other bearing types, engineers can ensure the bridge's structural integrity and stability.
