Mechanical Characteristics of Neoprene Isolation Bearings
The concept of base isolation is now well accepted and the number of buildings using this earthquake-resistant technique is rapidly increasing. It is now generally accepted that a base-isolated building will perform better than a conventional fixed-base building in moderate or strong earthquakes. The purpose of the report is to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of polychloroprene rubber (Neoprene) bearings under dynamic loading and to determine their maximum shear capacity and failure mechanism.
