Design of Lead Rubber Bearing Base Isolator
system for High Rise Structure
SANKET VIJAY MUNOT, P.B.AUTADE
Abstract—The main objective of project is to protect buildings by earthquake resistant structure. While no structure can be entirely
immune to damage from earthquakes, the goal of earthquake resistant construction is to erect structures that fare better
during Seismic activity than their conventional counterparts. Damper systems are designed and manufactured to protect integrities and
structural damages and to prevent injuries. There are many techniques to make seismic resistant structure. The base isolation technique is
used in this project to resist against earthquake. Lead Rubber Bearing is a new type earthquake resistance rubber bearing, formed by
inserting lead core into ordinary laminated rubber bearing, vertical supporting, and horizontal displacement and hysteric damping are
combined in single unit together.

1 INTRODUCTION
raditional seismic design of buildings is founded on struc-
tural ductility and redundancy. Forces induced by severe
earthquakes are reduced as a function of the energy dissi-
pation capacity at the structural components and their connec-
tions.
Base isolation systems partially uncouple a structure from
the seismic ground motion by means of specially designed,
replaceable, devices inserted between the structure and its
foundation. It illustrates a conventional P+10 storey building
and a protected base isolated one. The conventional building
reduces dynamic forces by plasticity of the structural and non-
structural components. In order to understand the perfor-
mance of the building under seismic effect and the effect of
lateral loads on a structure, it is necessary to evaluate the time
period of a structure. It is necessary to determine the signifi-
cance of the time period before evaluating the time period of a
structure. Time period plays an important role in estimating
the lateral loads and hence contributes to the seismic assess-
ment of a structure. Time period depends on mass and stiff-
ness. Based on the time period which is purely dependent on
stiffness and mass, the behavior of building under lateral
loads can be evaluated. It is difficult to determine the exact
time period. For the design of earthquake resistant structures
which seem to be safe and economical, the determination of
time period is necessary. In this project an attempt is done to
understand the various parameters which affect the time peri-
od of a building. Hence a parametric study is done on time
period of a structure as per the codal provisions. IS code (IS
1893(part I):2016) is referred for the parametric study. The
model is prepared and analyzed using ETABS software con-
sidering various parameters in the model. The value obtained
for time period as per the code and as per the software is
compared.
1.1 Base Isolation system
In base isolation technology during earthquake,
separating the superstructure or reducing the lateral
movements of building superstructure from the
movement of ground or foundation.
The bearings of base isolation are designed in such a
way that they are stiff vertically and flexible horizon-
tally to allow for the difference in lateral movement
while still supporting the superstructure. a building is
decoupled from the earthquake ground motion or
seismic waves. When a building is decoupled from
ground motion it significantly reduces response in the
structure which would have affected building if it is
fixed base. Base isolation decouples the building from
ground motion by decreasing the fundamental fre-
quency when compared to fix based building. This
concept of base isolation also makes to remain building
elastic during an earthquake. Base isolation concept is
also used in bridges, nuclear power plants and liquid
storage tanks etc.
1.2 Lead Rubber Bearing System:-
Lead rubber bearing (LRB) was firstly invented by William-
son in 1975. It was found in Newzeland. Lead rubber bearing is
applied to building and bridge constructions, is a practical and
cost-effective choice for seismic isolation. It is composed
of laminated elastomeric bearing pad, top and bottom sealing &
connecting plates and lead plug inserted.
1.3 components of Lead Rubber Bearing System
LRB has 4 main Components which are listed below
A) Upper and Bottom sealing plate :-
They transfer loading and constraint defor-
mation of lead core. These plates are connected to
base and column
These plates are connected by anchorage bolting
Plates having circular cutout at center for lead ore.
