Lead rubber bearings (LRBs) are widely utilised as seismic isolators in building structures.
These LRBs demonstrate the intricate characteristics of stiffening and degradation when …

Near-fault pulse-type ground motions with long-period pulses have a higher damage
potential. Due to this, flexible structures like bridges, base-isolated buildings and liquid …

In this study, a high friction polyurethane (HFPU) was prepared using PCL-210 N, MOCA,
TDI, and silicone diols. HFPU bearings for bridges were manufactured by casting HFPU in …

Rubber bearings are crucial components in seismic isolation systems to mitigate the
damaging effects of earthquakes on structures. Rubber bearings generally consist of …

The seismic safety margins of seismically isolated bridges have not been thoroughly studied
or comprehended due to a lack of actual on-site data observations. This study introduces a …

Ship** impact and wave loads impose dynamic loads on jetties and platforms in the sea,
which cause the vibration of structures. Recently, many advanced viscous damper devices …

This study introduces a castable high-friction polyurethane bearing (HFPB) designed to
prevent slippage in bridges through its excellent friction properties. The research evaluates …

When exposed to low temperatures, the mechanical properties of rubber isolation bearings
