Stirrup Bearing Replacement Required?
Hello,
I am an engineering student with a question about bridge design. We are learning about proper bridge repairs. One situation the teacher expressed is having to fix support issues. In the situation we are learning about is a stirrup support bearing issue.
Situation: The casting in the middle of the bearing has deteriorated, and is there any way this material can be salvaged or resurfaced (pits being filled with material) or should it be replaced?
Thanks!
