RESTON-PENDULUM
Applications:
- RESTON-PENDULUM seismic isolators can be used in the construction of new structures, or to enhance an existing structure’s strength and resistance to seismic forces. Under normal conditions, in combination with additional horizontal force bearings or dampers, they function as bearings, transmitting vertical forces and accommodating displacements and rotations. A significant advantage of this type of isolator over elastomeric types is its fire resistance.
ROBO-SMART
Smart Bearing
Design feature for bearings - makes normal bearings “smart” with pre-fitted sensors.
Helps optimize life-cycle costs
Provides data on bearing and bridge
Compatible with ROBO-CONTROL Structural Health Monitoring
