Structural bearings mageba structural bearings – mastering loads and movements Puente Santa Maria, Spain LASTO®BLOCK elastomeric bearings versatile, flexible, durable

Structural bearings Design and types Principle LASTO®BLOCK elastomeric bearings act as elastic load-transferring connections between structural elements which must be able to move or rotate relative to each other. They can be designed to transmit vertical and horizontal forces from the superstructure to the substructure, without constraints. They also accommodate rotations about any axis and – where appro­ priate – movements of the superstructure. Design LASTO®BLOCK elastomeric bearings are made from high-quality elastomer, reinforced by steel plates. The two materials are chemically bonded in...
