Elastomeric Bearing Design

NOTE NO. DN-18 SHEET NO.
DESIGN OF ELASTOMERIC BEARING
The bridge is having simply support span. each support has three no. of elastomeric bearings.
CALCULATION OF BEARING LOADS
Normal Case
Max. Reaction on a bearing
(Refer STAAD output) On outer Bearing On inner Bearing
Due to DL of RCC girder and slab (from design calc.) = 25.00 t 25.00 t
Due to Diaphragm = 0.92 t 3.06 t
25.92 t 28.06 t
Due to SIDL = 9.67 t 0.54 t
Total DL + SIDL = 35.59 t 28.60 t
Due to Live load (impact -1.1) = Max. 37.99 t 52.89 t

Min. -1.20 t -0.35 t
Total Maximum load = Max. 73.58 t 81.49 t

Total Minimum load = Min. 34.39 t 28.25 t
Calculation of horizontal forces :--
Horizontal force from superstructure
3 Nos. elastomeric bearings are proposed on each support.
Braking force = (100 x 0.2 ) = 20.00 t
Total Horizontal force transferred from superstructure =
20.00 / 2 = 10.00 t
This force is resisted by three bearing provided at each end
Thus longitudinal force on each bearing = 10.00 / 3 = 3.33 t
Seismic Transverse Case
a h
= 0.075 ( Hor. seismic coeff.)
Seismic force on Dead load = 5.99 t, say 5.99 t
Its lever arm above bearing level = 1.01 m (approx.)
Thus moment at bearing level = 5.99 x 1.01 = 6.02 Tm
Seismic force on SIDL = 19.88 x 0.075 = 1.49 t

Its lever arm above bearing level = 1.80 m
Total live load reaction at support= 67.0 t
Seismic force on LL (50%) = 33.5 x 0.075 = 2.51 t
Its lever arm above bearing level = 2.765 m
Total transverse force = 10.00 t
Thus transverse force on each bearing = 10.00 / 3 = 3.33 t
Total transverse moment = 15.65 Tm
x ^2 = 2 x ( 2.90^2 + 0^2 ) = 16.82 m^2
Hence, Vertical load on inner bearing = 15.65 x 0.000 = (+/-) 0.00 t
Hence, Vertical load on outer bearing = 15.65 x 0.172 = (+/-) 2.70 t
Thus,
Maximum load on outer bearing (50% LL) =
25.92 + 9.67 + 19.00 + 2.70 = 57.29 t
Minimum load on outer bearing =

25.92 + 9.67 -0.60 -2.70 = 32.29 t
Maximum load on inner bearing =

28.06 + 0.54 + 26.44 + 0.00 = 55.04 t
Minimum load on inner bearing =

28.06 + 0.54 -0.18 0.00 = 28.42 t
The design vertical load (minimum) = 28.42 t (Governing)
Horizontal force from superstructure
3 Nos. elastomeric bearings are proposed on each support.
Braking force (50%) =(100 x 0.2) x 0.5 = 10.00 t

10.00 / 2 = 5.00 t
Seismic Longitudinal Case
Maximum load on outer bearing =

25.9 + 9.67 + 19.00 = 54.59 t
Minimum load on outer bearing =

25.92 + 9.67 -0.60 = 34.99 t
Maximum load on inner bearing =

28.06 + 0.54 + 26.44 = 55.04 t
Minimum load on inner bearing =

28.06 + 0.54 -0.18 = 28.42 t
The design vertical load (minimum) = 28.42 t (Governing)
Horizontal force from superstructure (seismic)
Horizontal force Dead load and SIDL(seismic) =
5.99 + 1.49 = 7.48 t
Braking force (50%) =(100 x 0.2)x0.5 = 10.00 t
7.48 + 10.0 / 2 = 12.48 t
Movement at bearing (@ 0.5 x 10^-3 )
= 0.5 x 10^-3 x 14.0 x 10^3 x0.5 = 3.50 mm
Rotation as per clause :916.3.5 IRC:83(part-II)
Dead Load rotation ad = 400 Mmax L /(Ec I ) 10^-3 rad
Mmax = 83.78 t-m (refer design calculations of superstructure)
Grade of concrete = M 30
E 5000x fck = 2791654 t/m2
I = Moment of inertia = 0.2882 (refer design of superstructure)
ad = 400 x 83.78 x 14.000 x 0.001

0.5 x 2791654 x 0.2882
= 0.001166 rad
Live Load rotation
Mmax = 149.41 t-m (refer design calculations of superstructure)

ad = 0.00104
Total rotation = 0.0011663 + ### = 0.0022 rad

DESIGN OF ELASTOMERIC BEARING

CALCULATION OF BEARING LOADS

Due to Live load (impact -1.1) = Max. 37.99 t 52.89 t

Total Maximum load = Max. 73.58 t 81.49 t

Calculation of horizontal forces :--

Horizontal force from superstructure

3 Nos. elastomeric bearings are proposed on each support.

Braking force = (100 x 0.2 ) = 20.00 t

Total Horizontal force transferred from superstructure =

This force is resisted by three bearing provided at each end

Thus longitudinal force on each bearing = 10.00 / 3 = 3.33 t

Seismic Transverse Case

Seismic force on Dead load = 5.99 t, say 5.99 t

Its lever arm above bearing level = 1.01 m (approx.)

Thus moment at bearing level = 5.99 x 1.01 = 6.02 Tm

Seismic force on SIDL = 19.88 x 0.075 = 1.49 t

Its lever arm above bearing level = 1.80 m

Thus moment at bearing level = 1.49 x 1.80 = 2.68 Tm

Total live load reaction at support= 67.0 t

Seismic force on LL (50%) = 33.5 x 0.075 = 2.51 t

Its lever arm above bearing level = 2.765 m

Thus moment at bearing level = 2.51 x 2.77 = 6.95 Tm

Total transverse force = 10.00 t

This force is resisted by three bearing provided at each end

Thus transverse force on each bearing = 10.00 / 3 = 3.33 t

Total transverse moment = 15.65 Tm

x ^2 = 2 x ( 2.90^2 + 0^2 ) = 16.82 m^2

Hence, Vertical load on inner bearing = 15.65 x 0.000 = (+/-) 0.00 t

Hence, Vertical load on outer bearing = 15.65 x 0.172 = (+/-) 2.70 t

Minimum load on outer bearing =

Maximum load on inner bearing =

Minimum load on inner bearing =

The design vertical load (minimum) = 28.42 t (Governing)

Horizontal force from superstructure

3 Nos. elastomeric bearings are proposed on each support.

Braking force (50%) =(100 x 0.2) x 0.5 = 10.00 t

Total Horizontal force transferred from superstructure =

This force is resisted by three bearing provided at each end

Thus longitudinal force on each bearing = 5.00 / 3 = 1.67 t

Seismic Longitudinal Case

Maximum load on outer bearing =

Minimum load on outer bearing =

Maximum load on inner bearing =

Minimum load on inner bearing =

The design vertical load (minimum) = 28.42 t (Governing)

Horizontal force from superstructure (seismic)

Horizontal force Dead load and SIDL(seismic) =

5.99 + 1.49 = 7.48 t

Braking force (50%) =(100 x 0.2)x0.5 = 10.00 t

Total Horizontal force transferred from superstructure =

7.48 + 10.0 / 2 = 12.48 t

This force is resisted by three bearing provided at each end

Thus longitudinal force on each bearing = 12.48 / 3 = 4.16 t

Movement at bearing (@ 0.5 x 10^-3 )

= 0.5 x 10^-3 x 14.0 x 10^3 x0.5 = 3.50 mm

Rotation as per clause :916.3.5 IRC:83(part-II)

Dead Load rotation ad = 400 Mmax L /(Ec I ) 10^-3 rad

Mmax = 83.78 t-m (refer design calculations of superstructure)

E 5000x fck = 2791654 t/m2

I = Moment of inertia = 0.2882 (refer design of superstructure)

ad = 400 x 83.78 x 14.000 x 0.001

Mmax = 149.41 t-m (refer design calculations of superstructure)
