The shear modulus of 3-bar lap rubber shear dynamic test specimen is investigated through incremented shear strain tests. The shear force-strain relation of rubber specimen is also calculated by ABAQUS using hyper-elastic material properties of high damping rubber. The analysis results are compatible with shear dynamic tests of 3-bar lap rubber specimen and 1/8 reduced-scale laminated rubber bearing

구조물의 진동을 제어하기 위하여 널리 활용되고 있는 기초분리시스템(base isolation system)는 대상구조물에 경제적이며 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가장 널리 쓰이고 있는 적층(積層)고무받침(laminated rubber bearing) 방식의 기초분리장치(base isolator)를 제작하여 이에 대한 정적 및 동적 특성실험을 수행하였다. 실험으로부터 얻어진 결과를 통하여 제작된 기초분리 장치의 정적 및 동적특성을 분석하였으며 실제 구조물에 대한 기초분리장치로서의 적용가능성을 고찰하였다. 최종적으로 기초분리장치에서 나타나는 비선형 힘-변위 이력곡선을 수치적으로 이상화하여 실험결과와 비교하였다.

This study compares the performance of two smart isolation systems that utilize superelastic shape memory alloys (SMAs) for seismic protection of bridges using energy balance concepts. The first isolation system is a SMA/rubber-based isolation system (SRB-IS) and consists of a laminated rubber bearing that decouples the superstructure from the bridge piers and a SMA device that provides additional energy dissipation and re-centering capacity. The second isolation system, named as superelastic-friction base isolator (S-FBI), combines the superelastic SMAs with a flat steel-Teflon bearing rather than a laminated rubber bearing. Seismic energy equations of a bridge structure with SMA-based isolation systems are established by absolute and relative energy balance formulations. Nonlinear time history analyses are performed in order to assess the effectiveness of the isolation systems and to compare their performance. The program RSPMatch 2005 is employed to generate spectrum compatible ground motions that are used in time history analyses of the isolated bridge. Results indicate that SRB-IS produces higher seismic input energy, recoverable energy and base shears as compared to the S-FBI system. Also, it is shown that combining superelastic SMAs with a sliding bearing rather than rubber bearing significantly reduce the amount of the required SMA material.

To analyze the tension performance of laminated rubber bearings under tensile loading, a theoretical tension model for analyzing the rubber bearings is proposed based on the theory of elasticity. Applying the boundary restraint condition and the assumption of incompressibility of the rubber (Poisson's ratio of the rubber material is about 0.5 according the existing research results), the stress and deformation expressions for the tensile rubber layer are derived. Based on the derived expressions, the stress distribution and deformation pattern especially for the deformation shapers of the free edges of the rubber layer are analyzed and validated with the numerical results, and the theory of cracking energy is applied to analyze the distributions of prediction cracking energy density and gradient direction. The prediction of crack initiation and crack propagation direction of the rubber layers is investigated. The analysis results show that the stress and deformation expressions can be used to simulate the stress distribution and deformation pattern of the rubber layer for laminated rubber bearings in the elastic range, and the crack energy method of predicting failure mechanism are feasible according to the experimental phenomenon.

Base isolation system은 구조물의 기초하부에 설치되며 지진에 의한 구조물의 피해를 감소시켜 준다. 지금까지 많은 공학들에 의해 여러가지 base isolation system이 개발되었으나 실용화된 것은 1970년대에 laminated rubber bearing(LR type)이 개발되고서부터 였다. 최근에는 laminated rubber bearing밑에 미끄럼판을 둔 새로운 base isolation system(SR type)이 개발되었다. 본 연구에서는 isolation system과 구조물의 여러가지 성질에 따른 isolation효과에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이 연구의 결과, isolaion system은 지진하중이 작용할 때 건물에 발생하는 피해를 상당히 감소시킴을 알 수 있으며, isolaion system의 주기가 길어짐에 따라 isolation효과는 증가함을 알 수 있다. 그리고 건물의 높이가 증가함에 따라 isolation효과는 줄어든다는 것을 알 수 있다. SR type isolation system이 있는 건물에 지진하중이 작용할 때, 건물내부에서 발생하는 가속도와 층간변위, 그리고 전체변위는 LR type의 경우보다 작으므로 보다 효율적이라는 것을 알 수 있다.

Elastomeric bearing is used as one of the most useful way for isolation structures, because the horizontal stiffness is much lower than the vertical stiffness. The quality of Elastomeric bearing depends on the vulcanization procedure to manufacture, which produces the elasticity of the rubber from the compound of rubber and sulphur. The durability of Elastomeric bearing is affected by the deterioration due to ozone and ultra-violet attack. but the durability during the design life of bridges can be assured by the sufficient size of the bearing in spite of the deterioration in surface. In the design criteria of Elastomeric bearing, the stability of the bearings is evaluated by shear strain due to compression, lateral displacement, and rotation. The question how soft rubber can sustain heavy structure is now able to be solved by Ultimate capacity test of Laminated elastomeric Bearings, which results 1,200kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ of the max. compressive stress and this shows what a sufficient safety factor Elastomeric bearing has!

Strain energy function of the isoprene rubber was accurately determined by the experiments of uniaxial tension, planar tension, biaxial tension and volumetric compression. Deformation behavior of alternatively laminated structure of elastomer and reinforced aluminium layers, was analysed by Finite Element method. As a result, Ogden strain energy function obtained from the experiments describes the hyperelastic characteristics of the rubber very well. The compressibility of the rubber reduces axial stiffness of the structure. The axial stiffness of alternatively laminated structure being larger than shear stiffness. Which enables the structure to be shear-deformed easily.

이 논문에서는 저층 경량건물을 대상으로 고성능 내진을 구현하기 위하여 적용된 복합면진시스템의 적용효과가 비선형해석과 현장실험을 통하여 제시되었다. 이 연구에서 적용된 복합면진시스템은 슬라이딩베어링(sliding bearing)과 적층고무베어링(laminated rubber bearing)을 혼용하는 방법으로 전체 면진시스템의 고유주기를 신장시키는데 있어서 적층고무베어링이 지니는 한계를 극복하기 위한 것이다. 비선형해석결과, 복합면진시스템을 채용하여 설계된 면진건물은 아주 드물게 발생하는 강진에 대해서도 최대응답변위가 허용설계변위 이내이며, 최대응답전단력이 설계지진력 이하이므로 안전하게 유지될 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 현장실험결과, 면진층의 강성은 설계 등가강성 값의 약 95.8%에 해당하는 값을 나타내 전체 면진시스템의 실제 특성이 설계값과 잘 일치하고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

In general, the laminated rubber bearing (LRB), a composite structure laminated with the elastic rubber and steel plates, has a complex hysteretic nonlinear characteristics in relationships between the restoring force and shear deflection. The representative nonlinear characteristics of LRB include the change of hysteresis loop with cyclic shear deflections and the hardening effects at large shear deflection regions. Changes of the hysteresis loop of LRB with cyclic shear deflections affect the horizontal stiffness and the damping characteristics. The hardening behavior of LRB in large shear deflection region results in an increased horizontal stiffness and therefore, has a great impacton the seismic responses. In this paper, the seismic response analysis is carried out using the modified hysteretic bi-linear model of LRB, which takes into account the hysteresis loop change and the hardening behavior with cyclic shear deflection. The results on seismic responses are compared with those obtained using the widely used hysteretic hi-linear model. The new model is found to reveal the greater amount of peak acceleration response.

The paper describes the testing facilities and the methodology on testing of laminated rubber bearings envisaged for application in the system of Dynamic Damper (DD) of seismic isolated buildings, as well as the obtained results. For the first time in Armenia laminated rubber bearings were tested simultaneously under the action of horizontal shear force and vertical tension force. The test results have proven the possibility of using rubber bearings as elements subjected to tension due to action of the mass of DD. Also it was confirmed that the suggested structural concept of DD for reducing the displacements and shear forces of seismic isolation systems will have reliable behavior during the design level earthquakes.
