Experimental Investigation on Vertical Tension Property of Laminated Rubber Bearings

Abstract:

In order to study the vertical tension properties of laminated rubber bearings under different shear strain, pure tension test and shear-tension test on two groups of natural rubber bearings and lead core rubber bearings with 800mm diameter are present in this paper, and the initial stiffness, yield stiffness and yield stress and ultimate tensile properties (limit stress, limit strain) of the rubber isolation bearing in different shear strain are analyzed. The results of the tests provide the reference for the application of rubber bearings on large-scale complex structures or high building structures.
