The sliding materials for bridge supports are used to ensure the seismic performance or to absorb thermal deformation of bridge decks. The sliding plates in the bridge-bearings directly transfer vertical loads and horizontal displacements to piers. To construct bridge economically, bridge-bearings are required to endure higher vertical load capacity. Therefore, smaller and stiffer sliding materials have been being developed to improve vertical loading capacity of bearings. In this study, friction coefficient tests were accomplished with the sliding materials applied for bridge bearings. Three different types of friction materials (PTFE, C-Lube, and UHMWPE) were tested with equivalent compressive stress, velocity, and displacement respectively. Based on the experimental results of each material, the horizontal stiffness and energy dissipation capacities of bearings were compared and analyzed through the design of the friction pendulum bearing as well.
