Type GE is an elastomeric stud non-shrink slip bearing with Teflon sliding layer.
The horizontal displacements of the structure are taken up by deformation of the support itself. This results in a horizontal restoring force. The horizontal force is limited and independent of the sliding coefficient of the support.
The GE sliding support ensures free expansion with reduction of the horizontal reaction.
Advantages
Avoids significant efforts in structures due to dilations
