Skybridge Structure Details: Bearings, Expansion Joints, and Drainage

Show a close study of where a pedestrian bridge deck meets its supporting pier, with the engineering detail as the subject. Render the top of a tapered concrete pier with a levelled bearing shelf, carrying an elastomeric bearing pad — a layered block of rubber and steel plates — clearly visible in the gap between pier and deck soffit, with a stainless retaining plate at its edge. Detail the movement joint in the deck directly above as a slim aluminium comb plate set flush in the walking surface, its interlocking fingers visible and a rubber gland below catching water. Show the drainage arrangement: a small stainless outlet at the low point of the deck edge connecting to a downpipe run neatly down the back of the pier and into a below-ground connection, with a rodding access at the base. Detail the concrete as fair-faced with a drip groove along the soffit edge and a slight patina below the outlet. Show a small identification plate with the asset number. Photorealistic, technical, close-up, grey concrete and stainless, low three-quarter view.
