GOST R 57354-2016 PDF

Full title and description

GOST R 57354-2016 — "Опоры строительных конструкций. Часть 3. Опоры эластомерные. Технические условия" (English: Structural bearings. Part 3. Elastomeric bearings. Specifications). The national standard is stated as identical to the European standard EN 1337-3:2005 and sets technical conditions for elastomeric bearings used in building and bridge structures.

Abstract

This standard defines requirements for the design, manufacture, testing, marking, transport and storage of elastomeric structural bearings (laminated bearings, plain pad and strip bearings, and sliding elastomeric bearings) including permissible dimensions, materials and service temperature ranges. It is intended to provide specification-level requirements aligned with EN 1337‑3 and to be used by designers, manufacturers and testing laboratories.

General information

• Status: Introduced 1 July 2017; action was suspended by Rosstandart order (No. 2‑ст) from 14 January 2020 until 1 January 2022 according to public registries — database entries vary about its post‑2022 status, so users should confirm the current legal status with Rosstandart.
• Publication date: Approved 13 December 2016 (Order No. 2024‑ст); date of introduction into effect 1 July 2017.
• Publisher: Stандартинформ / national official publication (published as the national GOST R edition).
• ICS / categories: Related to ICS 91.010.30 (technical aspects of structural bearings / construction) and classified in Russian OKС (catalogue) under 87.060.10 (construction materials and construction).
• Edition / version: GOST R 57354-2016 (first introduction 2016 / effective 2017).
• Number of pages: 72 pages (library/catalog entries report the printed/official edition size in the range ~67–72 pages depending on front matter and publisher imprint).

Scope

The standard applies to elastomeric bearings (with or without complementary elements) used under building and bridge supports and to related bearing support surfaces. It covers typical elastomeric bearing types (laminated, plain pad, strip and sliding elastomeric bearings) within the dimensional and temperature ranges specified in the normative text, and sets requirements for mechanical and material properties, testing, marking, packaging, transport and storage. It is intended for use where EN 1337‑3 is suitable or referenced.

Key topics and requirements

• Definition and classification of elastomeric bearing types (laminated, plain pad, strip, sliding variants).
• Material and mechanical property requirements for elastomers and bonded components (including tensile, shear and ageing tests referenced to ISO/GOST methods).
• Dimensional limits and recommended maximum plan dimensions (typical EN limits up to ~1200 x 1200 mm are reflected in the adopted text).
• Service temperature ranges and short‑term peak temperature considerations; low‑temperature performance requirements.
• Factory and type testing requirements, sampling and acceptance criteria for mechanical behaviour and durability.
• Marking, documentation, packaging, transport and storage conditions for delivered bearings.

Typical use and users

Primary users include bridge and structural engineers, bearing manufacturers, quality and test laboratories, procurement specialists for infrastructure projects, construction inspection authorities and standards bodies. The standard is applied when specifying bearing products for new construction, replacement or refurbishment of supports where elastomeric bearings are appropriate.

Related standards

The document is declared identical to EN 1337‑3:2005 (Structural bearings — Part 3: Elastomeric bearings) and references other parts of the EN 1337 series and national/international test methods (for example GOST 32020‑2012 and GOST ISO standards for elastomer testing referenced in the normative text). Users often use EN 1337‑1 (general design rules) and EN 1337‑2 (sliding elements) in conjunction with this part.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST R 57354-2016 is the Russian national standard (GOST R) covering elastomeric structural bearings (technical specifications) and is declared identical to EN 1337‑3:2005. It provides specification-level requirements for elastomeric bearings used in building and bridge supports.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers types of elastomeric bearings (laminated, plain pad, strip and specified sliding variants), material and mechanical property requirements, dimensional and temperature limits, factory/type testing, marking, packaging, transport and storage. The standard incorporates or references testing methods for elastomer properties.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Structural and bridge designers, bearing manufacturers, test laboratories, contract specifiers and regulatory or inspection bodies involved in procurement, quality assurance and safe installation of bearings.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The standard was approved by Rosstandart (Order No. 2024‑ст) on 13 December 2016 and introduced 1 July 2017. Public registries report that Rosstandart issued Order No. 2‑ст on 14 January 2020 suspending its action from 14 January 2020 to 1 January 2022; database entries vary about the post‑2022 legal status. For procurement, certification or legal compliance you should verify the current official status directly with Rosstandart or the national standards registry.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — it is Part 3 of the Structural bearings series (GOST R 57354 — series aligned with EN 1337 parts). Related parts (EN/GOST) cover general design rules and sliding elements; users commonly apply multiple parts of EN 1337 together.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Elastomeric bearings; structural bearings; EN 1337‑3; laminated bearings; plain pad bearings; bearing specifications; bearing testing; material properties; construction supports.
