From page 48...
... 47 4.1 Summary The rotational response of elastomeric bearings was studied using testing and analysis. The program concentrated on steelreinforced elastomeric bearings.
From page 49...
... between acceptable and unacceptable behavior is not binary but rather requires judgment over the level of damage that is acceptable. Furthermore, the difficulties are aggravated by the facts that the quality of the manufacturing influences the loading required to cause a given level of damage, and damage accumulates as a fatigue process.
From page 50...
... When applied to bearings commonly used for typical freeway overpasses, it predicted that very little debonding should occur. This prediction is in agreement with field observations.
