Answer 2

The device fixed on abutments and piers to allow for free expansion, contraction and deflection of the bridge superstructure are known as Bridge Bearings.

Bridge bearings ensure adequate mutual connection of different parts of a bridge, allowing the transfer of vehicular and external loads from the superstructure down to the substructure.

• Bearing Capacity
• Beams and Girders
• Bridge Decks
• Piers
• Tissue Engineering
• Ultra-High-Performance Concrete
• Isolators

Bearings lie between the superstructure and the substructure components of the bridge. In other words, bearing transfers the load coming from the superstructure to the substructure components of the bridge.

Hence,

option (b) Bridge Bearing is correct .
