Used as an economical efficient bearing pads for pre-cast, pre-stressed concrete or steelbeams in bridges and buildings. Neoprene Pads permit a smooth and uniformtransfer of load form the beam to the substructure, allow beam rotation at the bearingdue to deflection of the beam under load. Neoprene Pads have no movable parts andthermal expansion and contraction are absorbed by the pad's ability to give and takein shear. There is no sliding between pad and beam or between pad and abutment.
