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 />
