Let me start the article with a question, what is the most important component required to be designed for a bridge? The answers would vary from all the components of the substructure to the superstructure.

Because bridge elastomer bearing pads are critical to safe and cost-effective bridge design, they are extensively prototyped and tested before being used in production.

Bridge bearing is a critical component, it provides a bridge with flexibility, and it is used to transfer the loads from superstructure to substructure.

Bridge rubber bearing design selection, construction and installation is to ensure that the bearing play a normal role in the important link.
