"Structural Bearings and Expansion Joints for Bridges";
Structural Engineering International, 13 (2003), 4; 268 - 270.

Since the use of steel, reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete as bridge building materials, structural bridge bearings had to be used. On the other hand the gap between bridge and abutment is bridged by means of expansion joints. The target of this paper is to give a very short state-of-the-art-report on bearings and expansion joints for bridges.
