Seismic isolation strategy
The usual anti seismic design is based on the structural ductility that is the ability to undertake extensive
plastic deformations which dissipate energy by hysteresis. In this kind of design large structural damages
are allowed. Consequently, even if the structure collapse is prevented, expensive repairs are necessary
after major earthquakes. No protection is guaranteed to the goods inside the structures.

However, for strategic structures, such as hospitals, power plants, control rooms, and primary bridges,
the functionality after catastrophic events is a primary goal to be guaranteed in addition to the structural
integrity.

The operating requirements after an earthquake event can be a task even more severe than the structure
collapse prevention: for example, in a hospital, the large acceleration occurring during an earthquake
could damage the electronic instruments and the service networks (gas pipes, etc) even if the structure
integrity is not largely affected.

On the contrary, the seismic isolation design, based on the Displacement design spectrum

system design are mainly two:

• reducing acceleration to a target value so as to avoid structural damages and to ensure the
functionality even under catastrophic earthquakes, using a simple and cheaper design of the
structure

• keeping the relative displacement between the ground and the structure to acceptable values so
as to allow a cost-effective design of isolators, joints and flexible pipe connections.

With "seismic isolation design" it is possible to isolate not only new but also existing constructions
through the insertion of special devices between the base of the structure and its foundations.

This concept is the key-point of the base isolation systems designed and manufactured by AGOM, based
on rubber bearings made of high damping compounds (E-safe HDRB) and/or with a damping lead core
(E-safe LRB).

All the movements and displacements due to the earthquake are concentrated at the base of the
structure avoiding strengthening the whole structure itself with different type of device; in this way any
widespread damages are prevented.

The isolators are usually installed at the base of each pier or, in general, under each vertical bearing

element; in bridges and viaducts, they’re often used in substitution of traditional rubber bearings.

Agom E-SAFE seismic isolators are generally characterised by high stiffness in case of small
displacements, behaving like fixed points in order to prevent movements due to wind, etc., and by a low
stiffness under large displacements in order to react and to and absorb wide oscillations.

Guidelines for isolation system design

In this section a simple guideline for design base isolated structure is presented, the design procedure is
summarized in the following steps:

1. Selection of the design ground spectrum that depends on the seismic area, the soil type and the
structure importance factor

2. Selection of the target period of the isolated structure

3. Calculation of the isolation system horizontal stiffness to reach the target isolation period

4. Selection of the optimal location of the isolators in the structure support points in order to reach,
as much as is possible, the coincidence between the center of mass and stiffness

5. Calculation of the structure base acceleration at the target isolation period

6. Reduction of the base acceleration by considering the damping capacity of the isolation system

7. Calculation of the isolators horizontal displacement

8. Design of the isolators according to the reference code

9. Once the isolator design has been completed, detailed design of the support (isolators plinth and
local reinforcement) must be completed. Note that all around the structure sufficient gap must be
provided in order to allow the horizontal movement due to earthquake (normally the gap must be
covered by joints that could be simple plates or more complex where required for example in area
where there is car transit, etc..)

10. For particular application when required a fire protection to the isolator can be provided

Lead core rubber bearings – E-safe LRB
Lead core rubber bearings are so named due to the insertion of
one or more lead cylinders into the rubber bearing. The lead
cylinder provides very effective damping during extreme
movements. The Agom E-SAFE lead core rubber bearings
consist of multiple elastomer layers separated by reinforcing
steel plates moulded to the rubber, and can be manufactured
in a rectangular or circular shape according to customer
requirements. The lead insert in the core of the bearing
dissipates the energy of the earthquake while the rubber,
reinforced with steel plates, provides stability, supports the
structure and isolates vibrations.

This type of seismic isolator is able to support live vertical

loads and low displacement horizontal loads (e.g. wind effects),

while protecting and isolating the structure by absorbing the (section of a scaled sample)
impact of earthquake tremors and by reducing oscillations.

After an earthquake the restorative properties of the rubber

layers return the building to its original position.

During the design and engineering phase the type of rubber

compound with the appropriate G modulus value is selected
according to the installation’s technical requirements and
project specifications.

The damping factor of lead core rubber bearings can be higher

then 30%.

High damping rubber bearings –E safe HDRB

The Agom E-SAFE high damping rubber bearings HDRB consist of multiple elastomer layers made of
special dissipative rubber compounds, separated by reinforcing steel plates moulded to the rubber layer,
and can be manufactured in a rectangular or circular shape according to customer requirements.

In the E-SAFE HDRB isolator, the energy is dissipated by hysteresis by the special rubber compound
during the cycles of horizontal deformation of the insulator.

After an earthquake the excellent restorative properties of the rubber layers return the building to its
original position.

The damping factor of HDRB can reach 10-16%.

Installation
The installation procedure of isolators generally depends on the structure type. The main steps are:

1. Check before installation.

In order to avoid placements mistakes of the bearings, all the technical and description data, printed on
the label, shall be checked and compared with the ones showed in the shop drawings.

2. Casting of the substructures.

Substructures shall reach a level about 30 mm lower then
the final level.

In order to install the isolators suitable voids spaces must

be provided to insert the isolator lower anchor bars.
An easy way to leave the voids is to use corrugated steel
pipes grouted into the concrete with a diameter at least
double compared with the diameter of the anchor bars.

3. Bearing positioning and substructure casting.

The isolators are placed at the final exact level supporting
it by temporary wedge spacers; the maximum deviation
from the horizontal plan does not exceed 0.001 radians.

In order to fix the isolators and anchor bars a formwork

around the lower base plate must be provided (normally a
wood or steel formwork is used).
Wedge spacers
To grout the isolator a high strength non-shrink, quick

Isolators general application range

In the following figures some examples of the isolators performances in term of vertical loads, horizontal
stiffness, horizontal force and damping are plotted. The curves are only illustrative of the general range
of application of the isolators but the detailed parameters have to be checked for the specific projects (for
example the same isolator can carry an increased vertical load if the horizontal displacement is reduced).
Furthermore different design rules and country codes allow obtaining different performances.

The detailed isolators parameters for a wide range of applications are shown in the E-Safe HDRB standard

E-SAFE HDRB standard range

The Agom E-SAFE HDRB isolators are suitable for the seismic isolation of different structures (residential
buildings, hospitals, power plant and bridges) and a very wide range of isolators can be manufactured to
reach the target stiffness, displacement, damping according to the structural engineer requirements. In
the following pages standard isolators classified at different displacement values are shown, in any case
for the seismic isolation system design, Agom can adjust the isolators design parameters to satisfy the
specific requirements and assist the structural designer in selection and optimization of the isolation
system in order to verify the technical feasibility and the costs minimization.
In the tables of next pages the general design of the E-SAFE HDRB isolators with rubber compounds with
different G and damping values (from 10 to 16%) are shown.

Adding the lead core, the E-SAFE LRB isolators can be designed in order to reach increased level of
damping of to 30% with a large range of horizontal displacement and vertical load capacity.

The isolators listed in the following tables have been designed according to European codes:

- EN 1337-3 (for non seismic load condition when the isolators act as normal rubber bearings)

and according to the following criteria:

- The horizontal seismic displacement range is from 100 to 400 mm. The reference displacement
has to be considered as the maximum ULS (ultimate limit state) already increased by the safety
factors required from the different codes (prNE15129, EN1998.1, EN1998.2)
- The horizontal non seismic displacement used for the static checks is taken as 0.5 times the total
rubber thickness
- The stated vertical loads are the maximum that each isolator can support applying the horizontal
displacement given by each load condition (seismic or static). The loads have to be considered as
the maximum ULS already increased by the safety factors of the different codes (prNE15129,
EN1998.1, EN1998.2)
- The considered rotation value is normally 0.005 rad

Since the isolators checks depends on the combination of multiple inputs (load, displacement and
rotation) the Agom engineers can assist the structural designer for design optimisation.

For the purposes of this document, the following symbols apply

- HDRB / S / N / H = High damping rubber

bearing, / S = soft compound, N = normal
compound, H = hard compound
- Dg= rubber diameter
- Tq= total rubber thickness
- Htot= total bearing thickness
- Kb= bearing effective horizontal stiffness (code
prEN15129)
- KV= bearing vertical stiffness (code prEN15129)
- Ned,max= bearing vertical force under the design
seismic action (code prEN15129)
- Fzd = bearing vertical design force (code EN1337-3)
- L = bearing anchor plate size
- W = bearing weight
