The aim of this webinar is to ensure delegates grasp the acoustic requirements for incorporating isolation bearings and understand the factors influencing their design. This encompasses detailing the fundamentals of elastomeric and spring bearing design and elucidating their relationship to loading and longevity, as they constitute key structural elements.
The webinar specifically centres on the acoustic considerations governing the selection and optimal placement of bearings in relation to cores, basements, walls, columns, and façades. It also extends to addressing how to provide essential loading information, including gravity, wind, tension, and earth loads, while also tackling robustness and ultimate load scenarios.
Furthermore, it engages in discussions on effectively educating future clients about the overarching implications of bearings and what structural teams need to seamlessly integrate them into broader designs. This involves imparting knowledge on ancillary considerations such as fire exposure effects, access/maintenance/inspection requirements, as well as addressing common inquiries from building control authorities and insurers.
