Characteristics & dimensions

Principle
mageba RESTON®STU shock transmission units consist of a piston, a piston rod and a cylinder pipe. They are temporary (dynamic) connecting devices allowing free movements during service conditions while locking up during a shock loading from an earthquake or due to traffic/train braking. In such case they transmit the forces to the connected elements. Shock transmission units – also known as lock-up devices – work on the principle that the rapid passage of a viscous fluid through a narrow gap, orifice or port generates high resistance, while slow passage at low velocity generates only minor resistance. Consequently, RESTON®STU devices lock-up during a quick motion, while delivering a very small reaction force caused by friction during slow displacements such as from thermal expansion or contraction.


Properties
RESTON®STU shock transmission units do not dissipate energy and consequently there is no reduction of the load impacts. However, by locking up in certain extraordinary events, the RESTON®STU devices temporarily change the static system of a structure, e.g. from simply supported to continuously supported elements. The main purpose is to control the load distribution and to share the forces with several structural elements. In addition, RESTON®STU devices avoid large movements of the structural elements such as bridge decks in case of sudden load impacts. RESTON®STU devices are frequently applied in combination with seismic isolators such as mageba LASTO®LRB lead rubber bearings, LASTO®HDRB high damping rubber bearings or RESTON®PENDULUM isolators in order to control the forces and to
minimize the movements of structures.
