Geometric Constraints
See standard drawings for standard pad details. Note the bearings shown on the Elastomeric Bearing and Girder End Details (IGEB) standard drawing may not be applicable for skews over 60°.
Tapered bearings may be used if the taper does not exceed 0.050 ft./ft.
Use ¼-in. exterior pad layers. If using ¼-in. interior pad layers, disregard the requirements in Article 14.7.6.1, specifying exterior layers no thicker than 70% of internal layers.
