The disadvantages of elastomeric bearings mainly include the following aspects:
Short service life
The service life of elastomeric bearings is relatively short, requiring regular maintenance and replacement, which increases maintenance costs and workload.
High price
Elastic bearings are usually expensive, especially when used in large buildings and bridges, where installation and adjustment issues need to be considered, increasing project costs.
Limited applicability: Elastic bearings are suitable for foundation engineering such as fill sites and highways, but may not be effective in certain specific environments, such as temperature sensitive environments, which may affect their performance.
