In general, the lateral resistant of bearing in a straight bridge is designed for lateral load such as wind or seismic forces. In this study, however, it is found that the cause of damage of bearings in a straight bridge adjacent to the curved road is the centrifugal force or the breaking force of the vehicle. Also, it is suggested that the repair method for the damaged bearings.
