Stravibase SEB* is a bespoke structural elastomer bearing for the structural isolation of buildings and other structures.

Stravibase SEB comprise a series of elastomer pads laminated to formwork on one or both sides. These bearings can be designed to meet natural frequencies between 6Hz and 20Hz, and can be manufactured in a variety of dimensions to accommodate acoustic design loads up to 10MPa.

Main Benefits

• Ease of installation
• Lifespan of greater than 50 years
• Versatility – Stravibase SEB can be tailor made to accommodate all
• types of construction applications such as load bearing masonry,
• reinforced concrete frames and steel constructions
• High lateral stiffness providing greater lateral stability

Design Requirements

• Natural frequency required
• Working dead and live loads
• Lateral and turning forces
• Practical information such as contact area
• Fixing locations if required
