Here, I am discussing some important reasons behind Steel plates inserted inside the bearing, especially in elastomeric bearings are as follows;
- For restricting the freedom of bearings to bulge and hence the deflection will get reduced when compared with bearings without any steel plates under the same load.
- Inducing tensile stresses which limits bulging of the elastomer which provides a limit to the thickness of the steel plates
- Steel plates have the special property that it doesn’t affect the shear stiffness of Elasticmetric bearings.
- For increasing compression stiffness of elastomeric bearing by limiting the amount of lateral bulging
- To function the bearing as a soft Spring in elastomeric bearing
- Bearing should be allowed for bulging laterally in elastomeric bearing

The advantages of AAC masonry over the conventional brick masonry are as follows :-
See less– AAC bricks are eco-friendly whereas conventional bricks are not.
– On AAC block dead load on the structure is low which reduces the consumption of cement, steel and water whereas using red clay brick there’s a heavy dead load on the structure.
– AAC blocks emits less heat in the atmosphere due to less use of cement, steel and concrete whereas on the other hand red clay bricks emits high heat to the atmosphere.
– AAC blocks have less material wastage whereas conventional red clay bricks have high material wastage.
– Thus, AAC have high sound insulation properties and red bricks have low insulation property.
