Abstract

Friction pendulum bearings have universal properties meeting various requirements during the use of buildings, bridges, and industrial structures. For a bearing, the period of vibrations, vertical load-carrying capability, damping, displacement capability, and response to a tensile load can be chosen independently. Dynamic vibration periods with durations of 1–5 s and displacements of up to 1.5 m are provided. Data on earthquake characteristics and the parameters of friction pendulum bearings are presented.
