Abstract
In Malaysia, the usage of laminated rubber bearing (LRB) is lacking due to low seismic intensity. Nevertheless, it is still used as precaution to public safety. The determination of the suitable rubber according to temperature is very important since Malaysia is one of the hot climate countries. Thus, temperature is one of important parameters to be taken into account. Commonly, rubber will melt and change their strength properties immediately if highly exposed to high temperature, and the situation is the same for LRB. The LRB is a combination of rubber and steel which is good to isolate earthquake energy. The objectives of this study is to determine the compressive strength performance of LRB using three different temperatures; room temperature (26–28 °C), 30 °C and 50 °C. The result shows that the maximum loads under compression test were between 373.2 and 793.3 kN for the three variable temperatures studied.
