ABSTRACT
An awareness of the limited understanding of the mechanics of elastomeric bearings under large comprension and shear loads, coupled with the availability of advanced computer codes, prompted a study using finite element tachniques. The analytical results obtained are compared with those obtained using existing simplistic design cocnsiderations and with experimental results of previous tests. The verification that a representative and reliable computer model can be used to study elastomeric bearings allows hitherto imcompletely understood aspects of the behavior of bridge bearings at high strains to be studied.(AU)
