https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com Located at Place Nelson Mandela, this pioneering mixed-use project brings together sports facilities, offices, a hotel, urban spa and swimming pool, indoor and outdoor restaurants, as well as co-living and R&D co-working spaces across multiple floors. The distinctive elliptical façade, shaped by the urban context and competition brief, adds architectural complexity to a challenging site adjacent to railway tracks and train and tram stations. The future building offers breathtaking views of the Alpine peaks and the open landscape of Grenoble’s Presqu’île. © HARDEL LE BIHAN ARCHITECTES Challenge The objective of the project was to ensure a…

https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com Solving neighbour complaints through effective vibration isolation in concrete block manufacturing. Concrete block making machines are the heart of every concrete block factory. Their performance and precision significantly determine the quality of the concrete blocks produced. The high compaction forces generate strong vibrations that can affect not only the machines themselves but also surrounding buildings. Due to earlier foundation designs, elastomeric materials are almost exclusively used for vibration isolation in new designs for block making machines. This poses a considerable risk of resonance effects in the machine‘s operating frequency range. Significant vibrations occurred in a newly constructed concrete…

https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com Enhancing Seismic Resilience of SMRs through Advanced 3D Isolation Systems with Tunable Stiffness and Damping The global interest in Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) continues to grow due to their operational flexibility and ability to accommodate diverse site conditions. A critical factor for their safe deployment, however, is ensuring robust seismic resilience—particularly for standardized structural designs intended for multiple seismic environments. Advanced three-dimensional (3D) seismic isolation strategies, incorporating helical steel springs and viscous dampers, offer a promising solution to enhance structural performance during earthquakes. By independently adjusting stiffness and damping in all three spatial directions, these 3D systems allow…

https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com Preventing Subsidence Damage with GERB Spring Elements Elastic support systems, using springs, are used for many different applications worldwide. Helical steel springs provide many advantages. They ensure low natural frequencies of the entire supported structure and hence, the vibration isolation efficiency is very high. Optimizing the parameters of the springs allows the application in seismic protection systems and for extraordinary load cases like subsidence. For the spring support of large turbine generator decks, the possibility for adjustments/leveling at the pre-stressable spring elements to counteract settlement issues, was and still is one important reason to use spring elements as…

https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com Why Vibration and Seismic Protection Is Critical for Modern Data Centers. Data centers are the backbone of our digital world—housing critical IT infrastructure that must operate with absolute precision and reliability. Yet, one often underestimated threat to their performance and safety is vibration. Whether caused by mechanical equipment, nearby construction activity, or natural seismic events, vibrations can have a significant impact on data center operations. Sensitive hardware such as server racks, cooling systems, and power generators can suffer from misalignments, micro-damage, and accelerated wear due to continuous or sudden vibrations. In earthquake-prone regions, the risk is even higher….

https://www.gerb.com/technical-insightsinfo@gerb.com When the Ground Begins to Settle… Cracks in the walls, doors and windows that no longer close properly, damage to the foundation – in many cases, these are visible signs of ground settlement beneath a building. As the soil subsides and loses bearing capacity, stresses develop within the structure, often manifesting as cracks in the foundation and masonry. If left unaddressed, such damage can threaten the structural integrity of a building and, in severe cases, render it unusable. The Causes of Settlement are Diverse: Fluctuations in the groundwater table Soil erosion Mining activity Seismic vibrations Suffosion triggered by…
