An '''elastomeric bridge bearing''' is a commonly used modern [[bridge bearing]]. There are several different similar types of bridge bearings that include [[neoprene]] bearing pads, neoprene bridge bearings, [[laminated]] [[elastomeric]] bearings and [[seismic]] isolators, which are all generally referred to as
bridge bearing pads in the [[construction industry]].

They are designed and manufactured based on standards and specifications of such organizations as [[British Standard]], [[AASHTO Soil Classification System|AASHTO]], and [[European Norms]] En 1337.<ref>{{cite book |title= Structural Bearings |first1=Helmut |last1=Eggert |first2=Wolfgang |last2=Kauschke |publisher= John Wiley & Sons |year=2002 |isbn= 3433012385 |pages=200}}</ref> Internal structure consists of a sandwich of [[mild steel]] shims and rubber moulded as one unit. Elastomeric bearing pads compress on vertical load and accommodate horizontal rotation and provide lateral shear movement. Elastomeric bearing pads are the most economical solution used in construction of large span bridges and buildings.<ref>{{cite book |title= Bridge Inspection and Rehabilitation: A Practical Guide |type= a Wiley Interscience publication |first= Parsons |last= Brinckerhoff |editor-first=Louis G. |editor-last=Silano |publisher= John Wiley & Sons |year=1993 |isbn= 0471532622 |pages=183}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title= Bridge Design and Evaluation: LRFD and LRFR |first=Gongkang |last=Fu |publisher= John Wiley & Sons |year=2013 |isbn=978-1118332689 |pages=304}}</ref>
