Elastomeric seismic-protection isolators — Part 1: Test methods (ISO 22762-1:2018)
This document specifies the test methods for determination ofa) the properties of the rubber material used to manufacture the elastomeric seismic isolators, andb) the characteristics of elastomeric seismic isolators.It is applicable to elastomeric seismic isolators used to provide buildings or bridges with protectionfrom earthquake damage. The isolators covered consist of alternate elastomeric layers and reinforcingsteel plates which are placed between a superstructure and its substructure to provide both flexibilityfor decoupling structural systems from ground motion, and damping capability to reduce displacementat the isolation interface and the transmission of energy from the ground into the structure at theisolation frequency.
