Mechanics of Rubber Bearings for Seismic and Vibration Isolation
Author: James M. Kelly
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119972809
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 217
Book Description
Widely used in civil, mechanical and automotive engineering since the early 1980s, multilayer rubber bearings have been used as seismic isolation devices for buildings in highly seismic areas in many countries. Their appeal in these applications comes from their ability to provide a component with high stiffness in one direction with high flexibility in one or more orthogonal directions. This combination of vertical stiffness with horizontal flexibility, achieved by reinforcing the rubber by thin steel shims perpendicular to the vertical load, enables them to be used as seismic and vibration isolators for machinery, buildings and bridges. Mechanics of Rubber Bearings for Seismic and Vibration Isolation collates the most important information on the mechanics of multilayer rubber bearings. It explores a unique and comprehensive combination of relevant topics, covering all prerequisite fundamental theory and providing a number of closed-form solutions to various boundary value problems as well as a comprehensive historical overview on the use of isolation. Many of the results presented in the book are new and are essential for a proper understanding of the behavior of these bearings and for the design and analysis of vibration or seismic isolation systems. The advantages afforded by adopting these natural rubber systems is clearly explained to designers and users of this technology, bringing into focus the design and specification of bearings for buildings, bridges and industrial structures. This comprehensive book: includes state of the art, as yet unpublished research along with all required fundamental concepts; is authored by world-leading experts with over 40 years of combined experience on seismic isolation and the behavior of multilayer rubber bearings; is accompanied by a website at www.wiley.com/go/kelly The concise approach of Mechanics of Rubber Bearings for Seismic and Vibration Isolation forms an invaluable resource for graduate students and researchers/practitioners in structural and mechanical engineering departments, in particular those working in seismic and vibration isolation.

Instrumented Elastomeric Bridge Bearings
Author: Douglas K. Nims
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Bridges
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
This report presents the results of tests and analyses performed on elastomeric bridge bearings. The focus of this research was the measurement of bearing deformations in the field and assessment of the feasibility of using instrumented elastomeric bearings to monitor bridge condition. The bearing deformations were successful measured in the field during the deck concrete pour and a static truck test. Shear, compression, rotation, and fatigue tests have been carried out in the laboratory and at the manufacturer's facility. Full scale bearings (shape factor 11) were tested at the manufacturer and installed in the field. Model bearings (shape factor 11 and one-quarter the plan area of the full scale bearings) were tested at the manufacturer and in the laboratory. Test bearings (shape factors 5,7, and 10) were tested in the laboratory. The bearing material was 50 Durometer neoprene. The analyses support the testing and considered the bridge-bearing system. The stiffnesses of the bearings are explicitly included in the analyses. A singular characteristic of this experimental research is the focus on the in-service behavior of the bearings.

Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures
Author: Iman Mansouri
Publisher: Woodhead Publishing
ISBN: 0323885314
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 427
Book Description
Seismic Evaluation, Damage, and Mitigation in Structures covers recent developments in the field of seismic performance assessment of structures. Earthquakes are one of the main natural hazards that can directly cause damage to a structure or even instigate a structural collapse, resulting in significant economic and human loss of life. In the event of an earthquake where many buildings and infrastructure components are not able to function afterward, or if extensive repair and associated disruption are needed, it can be extremely costly and take a long time to resolve. Divided into three parts, this book reviews and discusses earthquake-induced damage evaluation in structures, the repair of structural and non-structural components, and seismic damage mitigation strategies. With contributions from the leading experts in the field, this book is for earthquake engineers, structural engineers, PhD students studying civil engineering, people who can easily inspect and repair structures for quick reoccupation, and for those who understand topics such as design and damage mitigation, and limited structural or non-structural damage in seismic events. - Provides effective and economical methods to assess the seismic performance of structures - Analyzes earthquake damage and repair or demolition of buildings - Offers future needs for constructing seismic resistant structures
