    How do I calculate bridge horizontal movement due live loads?

    I want to know how to obtain the design criteria for elastomeric bearings. The bridges that I'm using are bridges with beams/girders and concrete deck. If you can give me some book with an example or some reference that shows how to calculate, Im going to be grateful.

    Bridge Translation due Live Load

    Hi! My name is Rick Chaves I'm with a elastomeric bearing design. To design this I need some design criteria: Live Loads, Dead Loads, Translations, Rotation due live load and rotation due dead loads. I can use a software to compute and obtain the design criteria, but I want to know how to...
