Overview
prEN 1337-8 (CEN) specifies rules for the design, testing and manufacture of guide bearings and restraint bearings for buildings and civil engineering works. Prepared by CEN/TC 167 and submitted as a draft European Standard (to supersede EN 1337-8:2007), this part of the prEN 1337 series is intended to be used in conjunction with prEN 1337-1:2018 (General) and other relevant parts of the series.
Guide bearings provide restraint in one horizontal direction and accommodate rotations without transmitting vertical loads. Restraint bearings prevent movements in a plane, accommodate rotations and do not transmit loads perpendicular to that plane. Both types transmit lateral loads in the x- and/or y-plane as defined in prEN 1337-1:2018.
Key Topics
- Scope and application: Rules for design, manufacture, testing, inspection and assessment of guide and restraint structural bearings used in civil works.
- Materials: Ferrous components shall comply with recognized EN material standards (for example EN 10025, EN 10083-3, EN 10088-2, EN 10340). Materials for sliding contact surfaces shall comply with prEN 1337-2:2018.
- Design requirements:
- Bearings must be designed to transmit the specified lateral forces while allowing the required movements and rotations.
- Frictional resistance and internal forces shall be determined using coefficients of friction given in prEN 1337-2:2018.
- The vertical design movement allowances shall be increased by +15 mm upwards and +10 mm downwards as specified.
- Minimum base plate thickness shall be determined by stress and deformation verification or by the stated calculation method, with 17 mm as a practical lower bound where applicable.
- Testing and production control:
- Type testing, factory production control (FPC) and sampling follow the provisions in prEN 1337-1:2018 and prEN 1337-2:2018 where sliding elements are included.
- Specific tests and certificates (e.g. EN 10204) are required for raw materials and mechanical characteristics.
Applications
This standard is targeted at engineers, designers, manufacturers and specifiers working on:
- Bridge bearings, building expansion and restraint interfaces
- Structural systems requiring controlled lateral restraint or guided movement
- Factory production and quality control of bearing assemblies
Benefits of applying prEN 1337-8 include consistent lateral load transfer design, improved durability through harmonized material and manufacturing requirements, and a clear framework for type testing and CE conformity.
