Unbonded laminated elastomeric bridge bearings are designed to accommodate service-
level deformations, but during an earthquake they can experience deformation demands …

The condition of the bearings is crucial for the operational functionality of the bridge.
However, detecting damage in elastomeric bearings, which are often deeply positioned in …

During the vulcanization process of steel-laminated elastomeric bridge bearings,
unavoidable flow of elastomer occurs inside the mold under high pressure and nonuniform …

In this paper, we introduce an accelerating algorithm based on the Taylor series for
reconstructing target images in the spectral digital image correlation method (SDIC). The …

Elastomeric bearings are widely used in bridges to support the superstructure, to transfer
loads to substructures, and to accommodate movements induced by, for example …

Abstract ENGLISH SUMMARY: Subset size selection is crucial to the accuracy and precision
of digital image correlation (DIC) measured displacements. Increasing the subset size …

This Thesis investigates the mechanical behaviour of elastomeric bearings with a low shape
factor (LSF) through the development of advanced and simplified modelling strategies. Such …

Elastomeric bridge bearings consisting of alternating layers of rubber and steel
reinforcement are widely used due to their ability to accommodate movements such as …
