Structural bearings - Part 1: General design rules
This European Standard is applicable to structural bearings, whether used in bridges or in other structures. This European Standard does not cover: a) bearings that transmit moments as a primary function; b) bearings that resist uplift; c) bearings for moving bridges; d) concrete hinges; e) seismic devices.

Lager im Bauwesen - Teil 1: Allgemeine Regelungen
Diese Europäische Norm gilt für Lager im Bauwesen, unabhängig davon, ob sie in Brücken oder in anderen Tragwerken verwendet werden. Diese Norm gilt nicht für: a) Lager, die Momente als Hauptschnittgröße übertragen; b) Lager, die Zugkräfte übertragen; c) Lager für bewegliche Brücken; d) Betongelenke; e) Erdbebensicherungen. Obwohl es nicht beabsichtigt ist, temporäre Lager zur regeln, kann die Norm als Richtlinie dafür verwendet werden (temporäre Lager sind solche, die während des Baus oder der Reparatur und der Wartung von Bauwerken verwendet werden).
Appareils d'appui structuraux - Partie 1: Indications générales
La présente norme européenne est applicable aux appareils d'appui, utilisés dans la construction de ponts ou d'autres structures. La présente norme européenne ne traite pas: a) des appareils d'appui dont la fonction première est de transmettre les moments; b) des appareils d'appui qui résistent au soulèvement; c) des appareils d'appui de ponts mobiles; d) des articulations par section rétrécie; e) des dispositifs séismiques. Même si elle n'est pas destinée à réglementer l'utilisation des appareils d'appui provisoires, la présente norme peut servir de guide le cas échéant.

Overview
EN 1337-1:2000 - Structural bearings: Part 1: General design rules is a European Standard published by CEN that sets out the general principles and design rules for structural bearings used in bridges and other structures. The standard provides a consistent European framework for specifying bearing behavior, design considerations and suitability for service. It is widely adopted in national implementations (for example SIST EN 1337-1:2001).
This part addresses general design aspects; it is not a product specification for a particular bearing type but a reference for designers and manufacturers developing bearing solutions for structural applications.
Key Topics
The standard focuses on high-level, practical design rules relevant to structural bearing engineering, including:
- Scope and applicability - defines which types of bearings are covered and which are excluded.
- Load and movement considerations - principles for accommodating vertical loads, rotations and horizontal displacements in design.
- Design principles - guidance on selecting bearings to meet structural performance, durability and serviceability requirements.
- Interface and installation - considerations for bearing seating, alignment and tolerances to ensure proper force transfer.
- Durability and material selection - general guidance to ensure long-term performance in service environments.
- Quality and conformity - criteria for using the standard as a basis for specifying and verifying bearing design.
Important exclusions explicitly stated in the scope:
- Bearings that transmit moments as a primary function
- Bearings that resist uplift
- Bearings for moving bridges
- Concrete hinges
- Seismic devices
The standard also notes that while temporary bearings (used during construction, repair or maintenance) are not primarily regulated, the document may be used as a design guide for those situations.
Applications
EN 1337-1:2000 is used to inform the design and selection of structural bearings in:
- Road and railway bridges (fixed and pinned supports where uplift/moment resistance is not primary)
- Building structures requiring engineered bearing solutions
- Refurbishment and maintenance projects where replacement or temporary bearings are specified
The standard is especially valuable where consistent European design practice is required across cross-border projects.
Who uses this standard
Typical users include:
- Structural and bridge engineers
- Bearing manufacturers and suppliers
- Construction contractors and installers
- Design offices and consulting engineers
- National standards bodies and regulatory authorities
Related standards
- Other parts of the EN 1337 series (covering specific bearing types and testing) complement Part 1 by providing product-specific rules and test methods.
- National adoptions (e.g., SIST EN 1337-1) implement the standard within local regulatory frameworks.

The article states that the EN 1337-1:2000 is a European Standard for structural bearings used in bridges and other structures. However, it does not cover certain types of bearings such as those that transmit moments, resist uplift, or are used for moving bridges. The standard also does not include concrete hinges or seismic devices. While it may be used as a guide for temporary bearings used during construction or maintenance, it is primarily intended for permanent structural bearings.
