33、zero load. Record the compressive stiffness for each bearing.8.1.3 Visual InspectionIncrease the load to 1.5 times thedesign load then maintain either load or deflection constantwhile the bearing is inspected for visual faults, as follows:8.1.3.1 If lack of elastomer to steel bond is indicated, theb
