MAURER Lead Rubber Bearings (MLRB) are seismic devices designed as a combination of a conventional elastomeric bearing with inserted lead cylinders. While the elastomeric bearing mainly takes over the support and re-centering function, the lead core serves for efficient energy dissipation in case of seismic-induced loads. This is why the hysteresis takes a much larger space and the horizontal reaction force is higher than with conventional elastomeric bearings due to the lead core. MAURER Lead Rubber Bearings are used in bridge and building construction.
