Chapter 2, Problem 2.79(choose chapter or problem)
An elastomeric bearing (\(G=130 psi\)) is used to support a bridge girder as shown to provide flexibility during earthquakes. The beam must not displace more than \(\frac{3}{8} \mathrm{in} .\) when a 5-kip lateral load is applied as shown. Knowing that the maximum allowable shearing stress is 60 psi, determine (a) the smallest allowable dimension b, (b) the smallest required thickness a.
