BS EN 1337-6:2004

What is BS EN 1337-6 - Structural rocker bearings about?  

BS EN 1337-6 is the sixth part of the multiple series that specifies the requirements for the design and manufacture of rocker bearings. In order to accommodate displacements, rocker bearings can be combined with a sliding element in accordance with EN 1337-2.  

Note 1: Bearings which are subjected to rotation greater than 0,05 rad resulting from the characteristic combination of actions are outside the scope of BS EN 1337-6.  

Note 2: BS EN 1337-6 does not apply to rocker bearings made with materials other than those specified in clause 5. 

Who is BS EN 1337-6 - Structural rocker bearings for?  

BS EN 1337-6 on structural rocker bearings is useful for: 

• Construction industries 
• Civil engineers 
• Architects 
• Manufacturers of rocker bearing
• Builders 
• Contractors  

Why should you use BS EN 1337-6 - Structural rocker bearings? 

Rocker is a component with a curved convex surface formed on one face. The curved surface can be a portion of a cylinder or sphere. 

BS EN 1337-6 specifies rocker bearing procedures for transferring vertical and horizontal forces between the superstructure and the substructure. BS EN 1337-6 specifies the load-bearing capacity of the rocker bearing that is obtained from the design verification as a function of the geometry and the steel properties. 

BS EN 1337-6 benefits you to: 

• Identify procedures to demonstrate the conformity of the construction product at appropriate stages 
• Identify and record any instance of non-conformity 
• Identify procedures to correct instances of non-conformity
