Rubber Bearing Pad

Understanding Elastomeric Bearing Pads
Elastomeric Bearing Pads or rubber bridge bearings are the bridge's load-bearers

Function of Elastomeric Bearing Pads
The function of the elastomeric bearing pad is as a load distribution medium between the superstructure and the substructure of the bridge.
Based on this function, the quality of the rubber bearings that will be used in bridge structures must comply with the specified requirements so that tests need to be carried out in the laboratory to test the quality of the rubber bearings.

Testing of Elastomeric Bearing Pads
One of the testing methods carried out is compressive stiffness and shear stiffness testing.
Compressive stiffness and shear stiffness of rubber bridge bearings for use in a bridge structure.
How the test works and calculates the compressive stiffness and shear stiffness of rubber bearings.
The production process and system greatly influences the quality of the bridge elastomer rubber.
