Elastomeric bearing pads represent a critical engineering component in modern infrastructure, serving as indispensable elements in bridges, buildings, and various structural applications. These sophisticated devices expertly balance load transfer requirements with necessary flexibility to accommodate movement, rotation, and vibration isolation.

In modern municipal sewage systems, rubber pipe plugs have become an essential tool for pipeline maintenance, testing, and repair. Their reusability, cost-effectiveness, and ease of installation make them a preferred choice for engineers and contractors.

Using ETABS software and PERFORM-3D software, the structural performance of the original structure and the damped structure under Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) and Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) actions were compared and analyzed.

Rubber pipe plugs are essential tools for blocking sewage pipelines during maintenance, repair, or testing. Since these plugs are frequently exposed to harsh wastewater environments—including chemicals, acidic/alkaline substances, and abrasive particles—their corrosion resistance is critical for longevity and performance.
