ISO 22762-3:2010 Elastomeric seismic-protection isolators - Part 3: Applications for buildings - Specifications

Second edition. ISO 22762-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 45, Rubber and rubber products, Subcommittee SC 4, Products (other than hoses). This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22762-3:2005), which has been technically revised. It also incorporates the Technical Corrigendum ISO 22762-3:2005/Cor.1:2006. — 68 p.
This part of ISO 22762 specifies minimum requirements and test methods for elastomeric seismic isolators used for buildings and the rubber material used in the manufacture of such isolators.
It is applicable to elastomeric seismic isolators used to provide buildings with protection from earthquake damage. The isolators covered consist of alternate elastomeric layers and reinforcing steel plates. They are placed between a superstructure and its substructure to provide both flexibility for decoupling structural systems from ground motion, and damping capability to reduce displacement at the isolation interface and the transmission of energy from the ground into the structure at the isolation frequency.
