elastomeric laminated bearings Explanation: Basically a block of rubber moulded onto a variable number of steel plates (for stiffening purposes). BSI Gloss of Building and Civ. Eng. terms, and this site, for ex.: for neoprene elastomeric laminated bearings, bridge bearing pads ... manaufacturer for neoprene bridge bearings, laminated elastomeric bearing, ptfe sliding bearings, high damping rubber bearings, plain bearing pads, steel bearings ... www.pretread.com/bridgebearing.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 38 mins (2005-03-02 20:34:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- While it is logical, as Julie says, to think that \"fretté\" means \"banded\" or \"externally reinforced\", this is not in fact the case. Corroboration : \"Les appareils [d\'appui] sont classés en 4 catégories ... 2/ Les appareils en élastomère fretté composés d\'un empilage (ou empilement) alterné de feuilles d\'élastomère de 8 à 20mm (généralement du néoprène) et de tôles d\'acier de 1 à 3mm rendues solidaires des précédentes au moment de la vulcanisation ...\" [Dico-TP] -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 hrs 27 mins (2005-03-02 23:23:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Actually, despite the BSI definition, \"laminated elastomeric bearing\" (586) is nearly 50 times more common on Google than \"laminated elastomeric bearing\" (12). |
