The following design program was developed based upon the above-referenced AASHTO LRFD code. The program is applicable to the design of steel-
reinforced elastomeric bearings, both rectangular and circular in shape. The program is not applicable to design of rectangular bearings subject to
combined rotation about the transverse and longitudinal axes. The program assumes that interior elastomeric layers are of equal thickness, as are the
