Advantages and Disadvantages of Various Isolated Bearings

Elastic bearing
1. Features:
The elastic support is divided into longitudinal elastic support and transverse elastic support. The longitudinal elastic bearing is mainly used for bridge support, which can play a role in vibration reduction and isolation. The transverse elastic support is mainly used for the support of pipes, fans and other mechanical equipment, which can reduce noise and insulate vibration. The elastic support can reduce the stress of the structure and alleviate the adverse effects such as vibration and noise.
2. Scope of application
Applicable to foundation works such as filling places and highways.
3. Strengths and weaknesses
Advantages: elastic support has good vibration isolation and sound insulation effects, which can reduce the impact of noise and vibration of buildings and equipment on the surrounding environment and human body. And easy to replace and repair.
Disadvantages: the service life of elastic bearings is shorter than that of other types of bearings, and regular maintenance and replacement are required.
Rigid bearing
1. Features:
Rigid bearings can hold the structure and carry loads, and in some cases can act as reinforcements for the structure. The rigid bearing is mainly made of steel or concrete, and its load bearing performance and durability are very good.
2. Scope of application
It is applicable to the support of bridges, underground pipelines, power facilities and other structures.
3. Strengths and weaknesses
Advantage: rigid bearing has extremely high bearing capacity and good durability.
Disadvantages: the rigid support cannot play the role of vibration isolation and sound insulation, and has a greater impact on the structure itself.
Horizontal bearing
1. Features:
The horizontal bearing can stably support the building structure and bear the horizontal load, so as to reduce the vibration impact when the building structure is subjected to vibration.
2. Scope of application
Suitable for supporting large buildings, bridges, airports and other facilities.
3. Strengths and weaknesses
Advantage: the horizontal bearing can reduce the impact of structural vibration and increase the structural stability.
Disadvantages: The price of horizontal bearing is high, so installation and adjustment shall be considered during design and construction.
Conclusion:
The above is a detailed description of the characteristics of different types of bearings. For works of different structures, it is very important to select suitable bearings. In the process of design and use, suitable bearings must be selected according to the specific circumstances to ensure the safety and stability of the project.
