The concept of seismic isolation is well established. Provisions for seismic isolation are
gradually being included in building and design codes around the world. Consequently, the …

Multi-layered elastomeric bearings (EB) are used extensively in civil structures and
infrastructures, due to their ability to mitigate the movements that structures such as …

This paper presents a theory for the buckling of short beams considering cross-sectional
distortions due to transverse shear (ie, shear warping), based on the consistent linearization …

This paper investigates the compression behaviour of engineered-plastic-plate reinforced
elastomeric isolators (EPPREIs), which use engineered plastic plates instead of steel …

Global interest in seismic isolation technology continues to increase due to the satisfactory
performance of isolated structures in recent earthquake events. In addition to the overall …

Reinforced elastomeric bearings (REBs) are widely used in bridges as well as for seismic
isolation applications. Analytical solutions for the critical design properties of REBs (eg …

When strategic civil structures (such as bridges and nuclear power plants) face natural
hazards (strong earthquakes and winds), they may experience severe damage. In this …

Reinforced elastomeric bearings (REBs) are widely used to accommodate displacements in
bridges as well as for seismic isolation applications. For unbonded REBs, lift-off (ie …

Elastomeric bearings are widely used for base isolation as well as accommodating
displacements in bridges. Fiber-reinforced elastomeric bearings (FREBs) have been shown …

Multi-layered elastomeric bearings (EB) have been applied in structural engineering as a
mitigation solution for improving the seismic resilience of structural configurations. Such …
