Elastomeric Bearing As Per RDSO Drawings
Review
Deevin Seismic Systems is well-known in the construction industry. We provide our services on many bridge and construction projects in India. Deevin manufactures metal and elastomeric load-bearing structures, compensators, pre- and post-tensioning devices, geocomposites, geogrids, and related products made of plastic, mechanical processing, and rubber. The Deevin seismic system is an extended part of DBL. The Deevin seismic system is certified according to the ISO 9001:2015 standard and accredited by NABL.
In this blog post, we will explain what elastic bearings are, where they are used, and why choosing Deevin Seismic Systems elastomeric bearings, manufactured according to RDSO drawings and approved by RDSO, is the ideal option for your bearing needs.
What is an elastomer bearing?

Elastomeric supports are often used as elastic joints between structural and heavy elements. They allow you to transfer vertical loads, horizontal movements, rotation of the structure in any direction, and horizontal forces within certain limits.

Deevin Seismic Systems elastomer bearings are widely used in India and have been trusted by professionals for many years. They are more efficient and economical because elastomers are the ideal choice as a maintenance-free material where energy absorption and vibration reduction combined with resistance to movement are required.
Our engineers use various methods to predict the load capacity and fatigue life of our bearings, as well as to study the effects of various loads and resulting multidirectional stresses on the lintels. This ensures that our bearings will work in a variety of conditions. These bearings are specially designed to withstand loads and displacements in all dimensions, as well as large rotational movements along the longitudinal axis.
The uses and applications of our RDSO-approved elastomer bearings
They are made of durable and flexible materials such as neoprene or high-strength technical rubber. These struts are installed between superstructures, such as the bridge beam, and supporting structures, such as vertical struts called pillars.
Their main function is to distribute loads from the superstructure to the base and ensure that the superstructure undergoes the necessary movements in various and uncertain environmental conditions without creating harmful stresses or loads that could compromise the structural integrity of the bridge.
If the integrity of the bridge structure is compromised, it may collapse. Preventing collapse is not the only function of the elastomeric support cushion. Support bearings extend the service life of bridges by reducing the wear of bridge materials. Pads help governments save money by delaying bridge replacement, just as shoes allow people to travel long distances.
Why choose Deevin Seismic Systems and what are the advantages of elastomeric bearings?

An economical solution
Simple in design and easy to install under moderate vertical loads.
Good performance characteristics
Under dynamic load, the acceleration transmitted to the superstructures decreases, which allows them to be used as dynamic insulators in buildings and other structures.
Long service life, maintenance-free
The reinforcing plates are embedded in elastomer to protect against corrosion. Special attention is paid to the characteristics of the rubber compound, surface treatment of steel sheets, assembly, and molding.
Approved Products
Deevin Seismic Systems bearings comply with national and international standards and are RDSO-approved.
HOW ARE DEEVIN ELASTOMER BEARINGS SUPERIOR TO TRADITIONAL VERSIONS IN TERMS OF EARTHQUAKE RESISTANCE?
Deevin elastomeric bearings represent a breakthrough in earthquake resistance in the construction industry. Innovative design and the use of advanced materials distinguish them from traditional options. These bearings have unsurpassed flexibility and damping properties, effectively dissipating seismic impacts. This not only ensures greater structural stability but also increases safety standards during construction.
Compared to traditional alternatives, Deevin elastomer bearings are the epitome of innovation and represent an excellent solution for reducing seismic impacts on structures. THE RDSO IS APPROVED BY THE GOI. DEEVIN RDSO elastomer bearings are approved by the Design and Standards Research Organization (RDSO) in India or the Government of India (GOI). The approval of these organizations often involves rigorous testing and compliance with industry standards.
Conclusion
Deevin Seismic Systems' elastomeric bridge bearings are designed to convert and transfer the movement and rotation of the bridge structure into elasticity and minimize the secondary stresses generated in the bridge, thanks to multilayer rubber sheets reinforced with metal plates. These bearings are designed to withstand vertical, longitudinal, horizontal, and transverse loads/movements and the rotation of a span structure caused by thermal influences, transport loads, structural loads, wind loads, seismic loads, etc. These bearings effectively reduce the load on the axle and provide excellent rotation in all directions and movements. Inserted metal plates limit the traction of rubber on the sides and increase the strength of the bridge to loads since the elasticity of the rubber absorbs shocks well and prolongs the period of natural loading. Another advantage of these products is the reliability and no corrosion, simple and convenient installation, long service life, and customized size according to the bridge design.
Deevin Seismic Systems' elastomeric bridge bearings are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001: 2015 with the latest modifications to meet the requirements of MORT&H technical conditions for road and Bridge works and the Code of the International Union of Railways. The Organization also approves us for Research, Design, and Standardization (RDSO), the Ministry of Railways, and the Government of India.
