Seismic Retrofit of a Historic Pier Using Lead-Rubber Bearings
Ports 2013, 2013The San Diego Unified Port District decided to construct a new multi-use building on the historic Broadway Pier. The pier, built in 1913, would require a seismic upgrade to accommodate the new facility. Initial study findings indicated that seismic demand would cause failure of the existing batter pile to deck connections. Preliminary retrofit concepts

Nonlinear Model-Based System Identification of Lead–Rubber Bearings
Journal of Structural Engineering, 2008A nonlinear model-based system identification method is proposed, formulated, implemented, and applied to a three-span continuous base-isolated bridge. Transverse and rotational rigid-body motions of the bridge superstructure are formulated into two degrees-of-freedom dynamic governing equations.

An equivalent linear model of lead-rubber seismic isolation bearings
Engineering Structures, 1996An equivalent linear model for the seismic analysis of base-isolated bridges with lead-rubber bearings (LRB) is established in this paper using an identification method. Recognizing that the inelastic displacement spectra with constant ductility ratios of an earthquake ground motion can be approximated by the equivalent elastic spectra with appropriate

Earthquake Spectra, 2015
In this paper, new formulations to calculate equivalent damping ratios used in equivalent linear analysis of seismic‐isolated structures, specifically isolated with lead‐rubber bearings (LRBs), are proposed. These formulations are capable of incorporating the variation in LRB hysteretic behavior due to reduced bearing strength as a function of lead ...

Evaluation of Long-Term Behavior by the Size of Lead Rubber Bearings
Volume 8: Seismic Engineering, 2016In the nuclear power plants (NPPs), the base isolators can be used to decrease the seismic force (acceleration, shear force, floor response spectra). During the lifetime of isolation systems, the mechanical properties of rubber bearings will be constantly changed by the vulcanization and degradation of the rubber due to environmental and

Experimental Study on the Ultimate Limit State of a Lead-Rubber Bearing
Volume 8: Seismic Engineering, 2016Recently, a base isolation system used to be introduced for the seismic safety of nuclear power plants. The isolation system should keep its function over the design level earthquake with a high confidence like any other equipment in nuclear power plants.

Optimum lead–rubber isolation bearings for near-fault motions
Engineering Structures, 2007Abstract Analytical seismic response of multi-storey buildings isolated by lead–rubber bearings (LRB) is investigated under near-fault motions. The superstructure is idealized as a linear shear type flexible building. The force–deformation behaviour of the LRB is modelled as bilinear with viscous damping.
