Product catalog summary
Seismic Protection Overview
mageba's LASTO®LRB Lead Rubber Bearings are designed for seismic protection by utilizing base isolation principles. These bearings limit energy transfer from the ground to structures during earthquakes, providing support and post-yield elasticity. The rubber component isolates and re-centers the bearing post-seismic event, while the lead core dissipates energy through plastic deformation.

Product Features
  • Principle: Base isolation to reduce seismic energy transfer.
  • Properties: Composed of elastomeric material and steel plates with a lead core, offering up to 30% damping.
  • Application: Suitable for various structures, combining isolation and energy dissipation in a compact unit.

Seismic Isolation
Seismic isolation decouples structures from ground motions, preventing resonance and potential damage. Effective systems provide flexibility, re-centering capabilities, and energy dissipation.

Materials and Design
  • Materials: Reinforcing plates made from carbon steel, natural rubber, and high-purity lead.
  • Anchoring System: Equipped with anchor plates for easy connection to structures.
  • Corrosion Protection: Standard systems according to EN ISO 12944, with options for other standards.

Benefits
  • Energy dissipation reduces structure size and cost.
  • Minimal space requirement due to combined load transfer.
  • Effective for new and retrofitted structures.
  • Re-centering maintains serviceability post-earthquake.

Inspection and Maintenance
LASTO®LRB bearings are maintenance-free but should be inspected regularly. mageba offers inspection services.

Quality and Support
mageba ensures high-quality products with ISO 9001:2008 certification and independent inspections. Bearings are CE marked, meeting EN 15129:2009 standards. Testing is available in-house or through third parties.

Customer Support
mageba provides expert advice and quotations, with additional resources available on their website.

Seismic protection Product features mageba LASTO®LRB lead rubber bearings work on the principle of base isolation and limits the energy transferred from the ground to the structure in the event of an earthquake. The rubber and steel laminated bearing is designed to support the weight of the structure and to provide post-yield elasticity. The rubber provides the isolation and re-centring of the bearing after a seismic event. The lead core deforms plastically under shear deformations, while dissipating energy through heat. Properties LASTO®LRB lead rubber bearings consist of alternate layers of...
