5/10/2016· Because bridge elastomeric pads are crucial to safe and cost-effective bridge design, elastomeric bearing pads are extensively prototyped and tested before they are used in production. Using simulation software as part of the process, it is possible to simulate an elastomeric bearing pad under different design and load assumptions and then observe its …

Recent AASHTO specifiions have placed a nuer of restrictions on the use of elastomeric bridge bearings. Elastomeric bearings with tapers built in to accommodate span end elevation differences were disallowed by the most current specifiions even though no previous research into elastomeric bearing performance has included tests on tapered pads. The purpose of …

10/6/2002· Even easier than using a beam element with stiffness properties equal to your bearing is to use a two noded spring element. Simply assign the actual bearing stiffnesses to the element and you are done.(Note that in SAP2000, two noded springs are called NLLink elements (non-linear link) because the element has the capacity for both linear and non linear properties).
