    Elastomeric Bearing Design Example: (Cont'd.)

    Uploaded by

    Oswaldo Zavala
    The document provides a step-by-step example of designing elastomeric bearings for a bridge. It details calculating design loads, distribution factors accounting for skew, preliminary bearing thickness and pad area, checking stresses and deflection, evaluating rotation capacity, and selecting a final bearing design of 62.4mm thickness, 7mm bonded rubber, 0.6mm unbonded rubber, and 15mm internal steel plate, with a 240mm x 240mm pad size.
