In the first figure, due to special circumstances, the position of the bridge support needs to be moved by 250 mm, as shown in the figure, and the center of the bearing reinforcement does not match the center of the bridge support.
The second drawing shows an overlap of the additional bearing stiffeners, the top flange, and the bridge support, which are not centered.
The third drawing shows an overlap of the additional bearing stiffeners, the lower flange, and the bridge abutment, which are not centered.
Would installing these additional bearing stiffeners be enough to fix the problem?
If not, how should I modify the bearing reinforcement, any suggestions would be appreciated.
The maximum load at the center of the bridge supports is DEAD LOAD (4200KN), LIVE LOAD (1545KN). (The box in the drawing is the short span bridge we are currently designing and the photo is another bridge of similar format)
