Structural Elastomeric Bearing
Stravibase SEB* is a bespoke structural elastomer bearing for the structural isolation of buildings and other structures.
Stravibase SEB comprise a series of elastomer pads laminated to formwork on one or both sides. These bearings can be designed to meet natural frequencies between 6Hz and 20Hz, and can be manufactured in a variety of dimensions to accommodate acoustic design loads up to 10MPa.
Main Benefits - Ease of installation
- Lifespan of greater than 50 years
- Versatility – Stravibase SEB can be tailor made to accommodate all
- types of construction applications such as load bearing masonry,
- reinforced concrete frames and steel constructions
- High lateral stiffness providing greater lateral stability
Design Requirements - Natural frequency required
- Working dead and live loads
- Lateral and turning forces
- Practical information such as contact area
- Fixing locations if required
*Previously known as CDM-SEB
Frozen Bearing Technology
Frozen Bearing Technology (FBT) technique allows us to replace elastomer bearings such as Stravibase SEB without disturbing the building’s structure; which may become necessary if there is a significant change in the imposed load.
