RISCyclic Experimental Behavior of Nonseismic Elastomeric Bearings with Stiffened Angle Side Retainer Fuses for Quasi-Isolated Seismic Bridge Response
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laminated elastomeric bridge bearings are commonly employed at bridges as expansion bearings to accommodate thermal displacements. In regions of low to moderate seismicity, these bearings can also be used as fusing components ...
Performance of Nonseismic PTFE Sliding Bearings When Subjected to Seismic Demands1
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Laminated elastomeric bridge bearings incorporating a flat sliding layer of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) provide service-level thermal displacement capacity to accommodate movements of a bridge superstructure in regions ...
