Popis: This study examines translations (or slide paths) of sliding elements in bridge bearings that occur in practice, due to traffic and temperature loads. A finite element model is made of a concrete box girder bridge and results near the supports are analysed. In addition to the finite element model, measurements are carried out on the bridge itself. During the period of one year the bridge is monitored with respect to the translations and rotations of the bearings, temperature of the bridge and stresses at midspan.
