Lead Rubber Bearings

Lead rubber bearings are specialized components used in bridges and buildings to help them withstand earthquakes and other forces. They consist of a layered structure of rubber and steel, resembling a flexible yet strong pad, with a core made of lead. The rubber and steel layers allow movement and absorb vibrations, reducing stress on the structure. The lead core provides energy dissipation and damping, further protecting the structure from seismic shocks. Overall, they serve as a flexible interface that enhances the building's ability to move safely during vibrations while maintaining stability.
