Lead–rubber bearings are seismic isolators that have been extensively used to protect
buildings, bridges and mission‐critical infrastructure from the damaging effects of …

This paper presents a part of “Development of an Evaluation Method for Seismic Isolation
Systems of Nuclear Power Facilities”. Ultimate behavior and failure modes of full-scale Lead …

Low shape factor lead-rubber bearings, defined as bearings with relatively thick rubber
layers, have been confirmed by several studies to be feasible for vertical seismic isolation …

Base-isolation is a well-known technique used in earthquake-resistant structures and
isolation devices sustainably preserve the entire structure by reducing earthquake energy …

Elastomeric bearings are one of the most commonly used types of seismic isolation devices.
Composed of alternating layers of rubber and steel shims, this study focuses on elastomeric …

Earthquake forces have always been considered as a threat to the structures. One of the
most effective ways to have structures with minimal damage and improve their resilience is …

A lead-rubber bearing (LRB) is one of the most common types of seismic isolation system.
The strength of LRBs is reduced by “lead core heating” caused by their absorption of seismic …
