HICOR Seismic Rubber Bearing isolates the structure from the movement of the ground during
an earthquake and thus limit the seismic energy acting on the structure. They are similar to
regular reinforced elastomeric bearing pads with steel connection plates.
This type of rubber can be used for new construction of structures. Or to enhance existing
structures strength and resistance to seismic forces, such as bridges and buildings for
retrofitting. Under normal condition they function as a regular deformation bearing, and thus
particularly suitable for structures with limited space availability. Neoprene rubber and natural
rubber is commonly used for seismic rubber bearings.
