    What are the structure and working principles of elastomeric bearings?

    Introduction

    Hello everyone, today I will introduce the elastomeric bearings in bridges and buildings.Let’s explore the structure and working principles of the bearings.Elastomeric bearings is a crucial supporting elements in engineering structures,the structure and working principles of the bearings are essential for ensuring the safe of buildings and bridges.it combines the excellent elasticity of rubber materials and the stable support of steel plates, it can effectively absorb and disperse the pressure from structural loads.it can also reduce the damage and destruction of the structure.Understanding their structure and working principles can help us understand the bearing better.and ensure the safety and reliability of structures .

    Basic Structure of Elastomeric Bearings

    The basic structure of the bearing plays an important role in the engineering field,especially in the bridge and building structures.The bearing consist of layers of rubber and steel plates, The rubber layers can absorb and disperse the pressure of the structure. It can reduce impact and damage to the structure.The design of the steel plates provide additional support and stability,ensuring that the bearings’ steadily under various environmental conditions. Therefore, it is essential that understand the basic structure of the elastomeric bearings.

    The main components of plate rubber bearings include rubber layers and steel plates. The rubber layer, as the core component of the bearing, possesses excellent elasticity and durability, effectively absorbing and dispersing the pressure and vibrations from structural loads. These rubber layers are typically made from natural or synthetic rubber, offering outstanding aging resistance and weatherability, suitable for long-term use under various environmental conditions. The steel plates act as the support structure of the bearing, usually positioned above and below the rubber layers. The design and arrangement of these steel plates directly affect the bearing’s load-bearing capacity and stability. By comprehensively considering the structural characteristics of the rubber layers and steel plates, the main components of plate rubber bearings ensure that the structure can work stably and reliably under stress, thus protecting the long-term safe operation of buildings or bridges.

    Working Principles of Elastomeric  Bearings

    The application of rubber materials in bearings is based on their unique physical and chemical properties. Rubber exhibits excellent elasticity and deformation capabilities, allowing it to undergo elastic deformation when subjected to force and quickly return to its original state once the load is removed. This characteristic enables rubber to effectively absorb and disperse both static and dynamic loads from structures in bearings, reducing the impact of vibrations and shocks on the structure, thus extending its service life. Moreover, rubber materials possess good aging resistance and weatherability, enabling them to work stably under various environmental conditions.

    In bearings, rubber typically serves as the core material, combined with steel plates or other supporting structures to form the primary load-bearing component of the bearing. Through careful design and selection of the hardness and thickness of the rubber material, the bearing’s load-bearing capacity and stiffness can be adjusted to meet the specific engineering requirements, accommodating different types and sizes of structures. In summary, the properties of rubber materials make them an important component of elastomeric bearings, providing reliable support and protection for engineering structures.

    Why install seismic isolation bearings?

    Shangze Building Isolation Bearing

    The reason why buildings are installed with seismic isolation bearings can be summed up in one sentence: to protect the safety of buildings and the people in them to the greatest extent when an earthquake strikes.
    Specifically, the role of seismic isolation bearings is mainly reflected in the following aspects:

    1. Isolation of seismic energy:

    Traditional buildings firmly fix the foundation and the main structure together. When an earthquake occurs, the powerful energy will be transmitted to the building without reservation, causing structural damage or even collapse.
    The seismic isolation bearing is like a “spring” or “slide plate” installed between the building and the foundation. During an earthquake, it can effectively isolate or dissipate the energy transmitted from the seismic waves to the superstructure, reducing the impact of the seismic force on the building, thereby protecting the safety of the main structure of the building.

    1. Extending the natural cycle of buildings:

    Each building has its own inherent vibration cycle, and earthquake waves also have their own vibration cycle. When the two cycles are close, resonance will occur, causing great damage to the building.
    Seismic isolation bearings can extend the natural period of a building, keep it away from the predominant period of seismic waves, avoid the occurrence of resonance, and thus reduce the damage caused by earthquakes to the building.

    1. Reduced seismic response:

    Seismic isolation bearings can effectively reduce the seismic response of buildings such as acceleration, floor displacement and inter-story displacement angle under earthquake action, improve the seismic performance of buildings and reduce the losses caused by earthquakes.

    all in all, The seismic isolation bearing is like a layer of “protective clothing” for the building. When an earthquake occurs, it can minimize the impact of the earthquake on the building and protect the safety of the building and the people inside it.
    Of course, the selection and installation of seismic isolation bearings require professional technicians to design and construct them in order to achieve their maximum effectiveness.
