An experimental study of elastomeric bridge bearings with design recommendations

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of elastomeric bridge bearing with tapers built in to accommodate span end elevation differences was evaluated and a simple design procedure was developed to standardize as many of those parameters as possible.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stability of Laminated Elastomeric Bearings

TL;DR: In order to impose the smallest possible force on the substructure, the bearing should have the smallest plan dimensions and the grea... as mentioned in this paper, which is the same as the bearing used in bridges.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental and theoretical study on a building structure controlled by multi-dimensional earthquake isolation and mitigation devices

TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated mathematical model based on fractional-derivative equivalent standard solid model is proposed to accurately describe the nonlinear characteristics of the MEIMD caused by the complex viscoelasticity.

Analysis of elastomeric bridge bearings

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-dimensional nonlinear p-version finite element method is developed for the analysis of boundary value problems relevant to elastomeric bridge bearings, which incorporates polynomial shape functions of the hierarchic type for the modeling of large deformations rubber elasticity.

Vertical stiffness degradation of laminated rubber bearings under lateral deformation

TL;DR: In this article, the vertical stiffness degradation of laminated rubber bearing is investigated based on the two-spring model and overlapping area model, and the regression curve of vertical stiffness ratio deduced based on 3D finite element analysis of bearings with various section shapes and sizes was compared to results from theoretical models and experimental approaches.
