# Bearing \[CBG]

## Superstructure Connection Construction

**Stage:** Choose the stage on which the selected insertion points or bearings will be constructed. Bearings should be constructed in the same stage as the related girders. If they are constructed prior to the girder construction stage, instability may occur, leading to failed finite element analysis (FEA). Conversely, if bearings are constructed after the girders, it may result in inaccurate FEA results.

**Insertion Points:** Choose the insertion points that represent the bearings.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/concrete-box-girder-bridge-workflow/construction-cbg/substructure-construction-cbg/bearing-cbg.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
