High-capacity casting polyurethane elastomeric (HCPUE) bearing is a new elastomer
isolation bearing that features excellent durability, higher vertical capacity, and a simpler …

Classical rubber seismic isolators reinforced with steel shims are generally large, heavy,
and expensive so rarely used for housing buildings. In the last few years, different …

This research presents a solution that can solve the negative diagonal support effect of the
traditional precast reinforced concrete stair with rigid connection (TS) and adverse stress …

To alleviate the detrimental diagonal bracing effect of the traditional rigid-connected
reinforced concrete (RC) flight to the boundary frame under lateral inputs, the study …

To develop high vertical capacity bridge isolation bearing, a new polyurethane elastomer
(PUE) material with improved shear performance was introduced. This paper focuses on the …

The purpose of this paper is to investigate and characterize the performance changes of
viscoelastic materials (VEMs) in viscoelastic (VE) devices used for structure vibration control …

Unfilled and carbon black filled natural rubber have attracted considerable attention and
have been extensively used as a novel construction material in civil infrastructure …

High-dam** rubber bearings (HDRBs) have been widely accepted as a relatively novel
type of seismic isolation devices in civil infrastructures construction, they are known to …

The laminated elastomeric bearings are widely used structure isolation devices. However,
the production and economic efficiency of current rubber bearings are limited by the long …

Elastomeric layers, that serve as the base of a viscoelastic (VE) dam** system in
structures, dissipate energy through shear deformation and transform vibration energy into …
