Stress Analysis and Fatigue Life Estimation of Bridge Rubber Bearing

Article Preview

Abstract:

Rubber bearings are used widely in small and medium-span highway bridge structure. In this paper the transient dynamics of the plate rubber bearing and the pot rubber bearing which are widely used in practical engineering is analyzed. And the fatigue life of bridge bearing is estimated using reliability theory
