Bad Bridge Bearing Design Details 3

[STrctPono]

I need your guys' help in finding issues with these details. See attached. I have not been around long enough to have seen this design implemented in older concrete bridges or to see how it has performed. From what I hear from the older Engineers, corrosion, maintenance, and replacement have made this bearing type obsolete.

I have a list of issues and want to see if you guys have any more concerns.

Thanks

bb,

Did you have problem to upload files to E-T? Quite a few people have the same problem, me included.

retired13 - I'm unable to upload files or pictures. I emailed the management and they said they're looking into it.

bb,

Thanks for confirmation. JoshPlum explained how he solved the problem at near the bottom of this thread Link. I might try it later.
