DESIGN OF ELASTOMERIC BEARING AS PER AASHTO:

(1) Design Load :

dead load of girder = 306 KN

superimposed DL = 86 KN

live load (impact) = 412 KN

804 KN

Hence,TL= 804 KN

LL= 412 KN

(2) Design deformations:

maximum superstructure movement, h = 10 mm

support flexibility = 10 mm

hence, design deformation, s = 20 mm

rotation due to total load , F]TL = 0.021974 radian

design rotation due to total load , F]TL = 0.021974 radian

rotation due to LL only, F]LL = 0.00253 radian

(3) Material properties:

Elastomer : hardness = 60 (Table 14.3.1 fo AASHTO)

k= 0.6

shear modulus, G = 1100 KN/m2 (@ 73 degree F)

Reinforcement : (AASHTO Cl 10.3.1)

yield stress , Fy = 36 ksi = 248400 KN/m2

fatigue limit, Fsr = 24 ksi = 165600 KN/m2

(4) Design :
(a) compressive stress to calculate plan area & elastomer thickness
(AASHTO Cl 14.4.2.1 )
take, sc] TL = 1600 psi
= 11040 KN/m2
Plan area, A = 0.072827 m2

transverse dimension of bearing, W = 400 mm

longitudinal dimension of bearing, L = 300 mm
area provided, A = 0.1131 m2 (edge cover = 5mm)
hence, c] TL= 7108 KN/m2
c] LL= 3642 KN/m2
c] TL= 1.66GS /  gives
for outer layer shape factor, S = 5.45 ( = 1.4 )
for inner layer shape factor, S = 3.893 ( = 1.0 )
c] LL= 0.66GS /  gives
for outer layer shape factor, S = 7.023 ( = 1.4 )
for inner layer shape factor, S = 5.017 ( = 1.0 )
By definition, S = LW / (2hr(L+W))
where, hr = thicness of ith elastomer layer
hence ,max. hr]outer = 12.205 mm
hence , max.hr]inner = 17.085 mm

selected , hr]outer = 3 mm

selected , hr]inner = 9 mm

for outer layer shape factor, S = LW / (2hro(L+W))

= 28.57

for inner layer shape factor, S = LW / (2hri(L+W))

= 9.52

(b) shear consideration to calculate total elastomer thicness :

(AASHTO Cl 14.4.2.3 )
total elastomer thickness, hrt > 2s
hence, hrt]min = 40 mm
no of inner layers = 5
no of outer layers = 2
hrt = 51 mm

(c) check for rotation & rotation combined with compression:

(AASHTO Cl 14.4.2.4)
compressive deflection, c = cihri (CL 14.4.2.2)
effective compression modulus of elastomer , Ec = 3G(1+2kS^2)
for outer layer, Ec= 3235629 KN/m2
for inner layer, Ec= 362196 KN/m2
Instantaneous, c]TL = 0.896 mm
Instantaneous, c]LL = 0.459 mm
creep factor = 1.35 (Table 14.3.1 fo AASHTO)
to satisfy  < 2c/L
2 c/L]TL,long term= 0.008064
< ]TL = 0.021974

2 c/L]LL, instantaneous= 0.00306

> ]LL = 0.00253
satisfactory
[(1.66GS / )/{(1+L,TL/(4c)}]= 12394 KN/m2
> c] TL= 7108 KN/m2
satisfactory

(d) check for stability: ( AASHTO Cl 14.4.2.5 )

for outer layer, stabilty factor = 92618 KN/m2
> c] TL= 7108 KN/m2
satisfactory
for outer layer, stabilty factor = 48104 KN/m2
> c] TL= 7108 KN/m2
satisfactory
(e) reinforcement:
thicness of reinforcement, hs > {1.5(hr1+hr2)]TL} / Fy for total load
{1.5(hr1+hr2)]LL} / Fsr for live load
for outer layer, hs = 0.515 mm
for inner layer, hs = 0.773 mm
selected, hs]outer = 2 mm
selected, hs]inner = 2 mm
hence total thickness of bearing,h = 63 mm
satisfactory (AASHTO Cl 14.4.1.5)
(f) design shear force on bearing & anchorage:
design shear force, H = GAh/hrt
= 24.3 KN
compressive force due to dead load alone, P = 392 KN > 5H
No anchorage required
(g) design force on supporting structure:
design shear force, H = GAh/hrt
= 24.3 KN
Moment, M = (0.5Ec)I]TL/hrt, where , I=WL^3/12

I= 0.0009 m3
M= 627.4 KNm
