TICO CV-M Medium Stress Bearings
TICO CV/M is a medium load structural bearing material, engineered to reduce the transmission of ground borne and structure borne noise and vibration, for example vibrations transmitted into and through buildings from nearby public transport systems or road networks. TICO CV/M has a maximum recommended working stress of 1400 kN/m2 making it suitable for a wide variety of applications. To achieve a major reduction in structural noise transmission it is necessary to separate one structure from another, or to isolate the complete structure itself from its foundation, depending on the source of vibration and amount of reduction required. Typical examples of TICO CV/M applications include isolation of cinemas, lightweight oil-rig modules, control rooms and floating floors.
Typical CV/M and CV/M/PT Bearing construction
TICO CV/M structural bearings can be used in a number of different configurations from modular pad arrangements on pile caps to continuous strip footings. In suitable configurations, isolation systems based around TICO CV/M structural bearings can achieve natural frequencies of less than 10 Hz. TICO CV/M bearings are dimensionally stable under widely varying atmospheric conditions and should provide acceptable vibration attenuation properties for 50 years or more - the high quality constituents used in manufacture will render them durable and age resistant over many decades with a total load bearing life expectancy well in excess of the normal working life of the building. TICO CV/M bearings have been designed and tested to meet and exceed the requirements of BS6177:1982 ‘Guide to selection and use of elastomeric bearings for vibration isolation of buildings’.
