Critical infrastructure, such as hospitals must be protected against earthquakes Slobozia, Romania – 120 km east of Bucharest is the capital of Ialomiţa County. A region that is regularly hit by small to moderate earthquakes. In 2020 alone, the Ialomiţa was affected by 9 earthquakes. Back in 2007, it was clear the hospital, which is providing health care for more than 250,000 people, needed a seismic protection upgrade. Challenge The project challenged on two levels. First, the structure of Slobazia hospital was already built and therefore seismic control solutions were needed to develop that can adapt to…

Protecting teaching experimental equipment from vibration and structure-borne noise The extension of Beijing University was completed at the end of August 2021 with a new teaching and office building providing more space for students and staff. GERB has already supported the project in 2018 with engineering and delivering an elastic support solution to protect members and structures from unwanted vibrations. Challenge A subway line running underground threatened the new structure with negative effects of vibration that could cause affect the normal use of the teaching equipment as well as a significant reduction of comfort for people in…

GERB‘s first building project on spring elements in India is currently being implemented in Mumbai City, Maharashtra. In 2018 Shrem got in touch with GERB by introducing their architect and consultant new designed Fairmont hotel. As Shrem is a developer in hospitality real estate and infrastructure, the requirements in this project focus on high customer comfort and safety standards. Due to increased threats from vibrations in the metropolitan area, the structure demanded a GERB vibration isolation solution. With our mission to increase comfort and protect against vibrations, structure-borne noise and earthquake, the client could rely on our…

Tuned Mass Dampers (TMD) Flexibility with high-performance GERB TMDs In addition to spring element, elastomer and damper solutions we offer high-performance vibration damping systems to meet the highest customer expectations and requirements. Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) cover a wide range of requirements such as a frequency range of 0.1 Hz – 200 Hz and a vibration mass range of 500 g – 600 t. Each TMD system is always a custom solution connected to a single point in the structure, adapted to the main construction and the respective natural frequency. In general, GERB TMDs are passive systems…

Viscodampers® Optimal damping with GERB visco-elastic dampers GERB Viscodampers® are viscous elastic vibration dampers utilizing the dissipative properties of highly viscous fluids to dampen movements in all spatial directions simultaneously. They basically consist out of three components: The lower part of the damper forms the housing, which is filled with the damping medium. The upper part or piston is immersed in the viscous medium and can move freely up to the housing walls. By shearing and displacing the highly viscous fluid Viscodampers® create approximately velocity proportional damping forces. Mechanical vibration energy is converted into heat and dissipated into the…
