Describes and illustrates the different ways that joints, bearings and seismic systems can be modelled, covering the relevance of using different finite element joint models in differing situations. These include different ways to model lift-off behavior (smooth contact or elastic-plastic joints); the use of more advanced joints for modeling lead rubber bearings and friction/pendulum bearings; why dampers and other seismic systems are employed and the methods of modeling them; and some more detailed bearing models including carrying out bearing repairs in situ and ways of modelling detailed bearing models with full contact behaviour. Paper presented at the 8th World Congress on Joints, Bearings and Seismic Systems, Atlanta, Georgia, USA, 25-29 September 2016 by Terry Cakebread of LUSAS.
