• Stravibase VHS
Very high stress bearings
- General Details
Stravibase VHS*, very high stress bearings isolate buildings from vibration and structure-borne noise caused by trains or trams running nearby or underneath buildings. They are designed to support very large loads whilst being significantly smaller in plan dimensions than traditional elastomer bearings.
Advantages
- Stravibase VHS bearings are constructed of alternate layers of high resilience elastomer pads and steel plates
- Stravibase VHS bearings are available in different formats to offer performances between 8-18Hz natural frequency
- Steel parts are centrifugal hot dip galvanized • Stravibase VHS bearings provide the same acoustic performance as standard elastomer bearings which are more than twice their size; thereby having a significant impact on a buildings structural cost
- They are quick and easy to install, thereby minimizing associated labour costs. Top and bottom plates can be added to suit the specific method of installation
- Our engineers will design a configuration of Stravibase VHS to best suit the structural element requiring support
