Uplift Loads<br />

<strong>Trelleborg</strong> Laminated rubber<br />

bearings are suitable for carrying<br />

load by <strong>com</strong>pression and under no<br />

circumstances should they be subjected<br />

to tension. If tensile forces could arise<br />

due to uplift in the bearing (eg. seismic<br />

or wind loads), we can design a multibearing<br />

arrangement to restrain the<br />

bearing under uplift loads.<br />

Fire Protection<br />

We can design bearings with an inherent<br />

system of fire protection (eg. 2 hour<br />

fire rating). Alternatively we can design<br />

and supply a fire protection system<br />

to be installed around the column or<br />

structure supporting the bearing. All<br />

fire protection systems for acoustic<br />

isolation bearings should be designed<br />

so the potential for bridging between<br />

the substructure and superstructure is<br />

minimised.<br />
