Bearing modelling
Bearing modelling
(OP)
Hi all,
I need to model bearing at abutments and bent using SAP2000 or CSI Bridge. What possible scenarios I can use?
I mean use two joints link support for instance or joint constraint.
I appreciate if someone shed some insights regarding this matter as I'm perplexed about modelling such connection which connect girder to abutment and bent respectively.

RE: Bearing modelling
You might use two joints link with the bearing's stiffness coefficients.

I managed to find the correct way for modelling it.
