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.

Hi,

You might use two joints link with the bearing's stiffness coefficients.

Thanks for your response,
I managed to find the correct way for modelling it.
