A major revision of AS 5100.4 Bearings and Deck Joints has been undertaken in preparation for the publication of a new edition of AS 5100. The elastomeric bearing performance tables have been revised to make bearing selection easier and the movement range elastomeric bearings and deck joints need to be designed for have been modified. New rules for the internal seals of pot bearings have been introduced. New sections have been added to cover Approved Sliding Material (ASM) spherical bearings, load distribution from bearings to the adjacent concrete substrates and modular deck joints.
