ELASTOMERIC BEARING DESIGN TO AUSTROADS (1992)

Bearing Ref: Pier bearing

DESIGN PARAMETERS

LOADS: (kN) DEFLECTIONS: DIMENSIONAL CONSTRAINTS:

Minimum Load = 70 Longitudinal = 7 mm Length = 500
Working Load = 115 Lateral = 5 mm Width = 500
Buckling Load = 230 Rotation = 0.016 radians (at Vmin) Height = 35
Rotation = 0.025 radians (at Vmax)
RUBBER SPECIFICATION
Hardness Duro = 53 Shear Modulus - G = 0.69 MPa
Non-linear Index 1.00 Bulk Modulus - Eb = 2000 MPa

BEARING CONSTRUCTION
Length = 230 mm Inner Layers 6 @ 6.0 mm = 36 mm
Width = 150 mm Outer Layers 2 @ 4 mm = 8 mm
Hole Dia. = 0 mm Steel Plate 7 @ 5 mm = 35 mm
Hole Cover = 10 mm
Side Cover = 10 mm Height = 79 mm *

Note: An asterisk (*) is shown if a dimensional constraint is exceeded.

SHEAR STIFFNESS = 0.541 kN/mm (at zero vertical load - see note below)

Note: The actual shear stiffness may be up to 40% less than the calculated value depending on the
magnitude of the vertical load.

COMPRESSIVE STIFFNESS = 106 kN/mm

MAXIMUM STRAIN CHECK

Inner layers - esc = 0.978
- esh = 0.159
- esr = 0.800
Total strain = 1.938 ( 62 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED

RATED LOAD CAPACITY

At DESIGN shear & rot. Vmax = 255 kN ( 45 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED

At ZERO shear & rot. Vmax = 368 ( 31 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED

MAXIMUM ROTATION

At Vmin -
amax = 0.020 radians ( 79 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED
At Vmax -
amax = 0.033 radians ( 75 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED

MAXIMUM SHEAR DEFLECTION ( at design rotation )

ds = 31 mm ( max strain ) or 26 mm ( 20% reduction in area)

( 27 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED
STEEL PLATE CHECK

Steel Plate Stress = 15 MPa ( 6 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED

STABILITY

V/A = 4.5671 < 9.09 Mpa ( 50 % of AUSTROADS limit ) PASSED
