... S U M M A R Y The response of elastomeric bridge bearings to imposed rotations was studied using testing and analysis. The program concentrated on steel-reinforced elastomeric bearings.

... 2from the present specifications include the removal of the absolute limit on compressive stress, so that the design of high shape factor bearings for high stresses will be possible, the removal of the previous "no-uplift" provisions, which were causing difficulties for designers, and a change in the testing requirements so that the second-level, more rigorous testing is required for large bearings rather than any bearing deigned by the more comprehensive "Method B."
