    Spreadsheet For Design of Bridge Bearings

    Uploaded by

    Ali Akbar
    This document summarizes the design of elastomeric bearings for bridges according to AASHTO specifications. The design considers input parameters such as loads, movement, bearing dimensions, and material properties. Calculations are shown for shear deformation, compressive stress and deflection, stability, and reinforcement requirements. The final design meets all criteria and specifies dimensions for a rectangular bearing with 10 interior elastomer layers and 11 steel shim plates.
