Elastomeric bearing pads are responsible for transferring loads at the junction between beams and columns of bridges and viaducts, providing restrict freedom of movement in the superstructure. The elastomeric material of the bearing pad is a synthetic rubber reinforced with carbon black particles and subjected to a process of vulcanization, also represented by hyperelastic material models based on strain energy density functions. The objective of the present paper is to use the finite element analysis software Abaqus® to select the most appropriate hyperelastic model, as well as its constants, applying them in a bearing pad installed in an existing viaduct, evaluating its behavior and displacements resulting from the application of usual loads. The proposed methodology presents results coherent with technical specifications limits for available bearing pads products.
