70.111.226.186:

[[Bearing]] can have multiple meanings, such as:

* The angular position of a line referred to a [[meridian]].
* The support for a [[shaft]], [[axle]], or [[trunnion]].
* The [[shoes]] for a span.
* The resistance to [[crushing]] as offered by a member.
* The pressure transferred from one member to another.
* The capacity of a [[pile]] to carry load.
* The support for a [[beam]], [[pin]], [[bolt]], or [[rivet]].

== Bridge Bearings ==

Bridge bearings are devices that enable to transfer loads from [[superstructure]] to the [[substructure]] and accomodate movements at the same time.
