Fip Company Profile
From the early Seventies, when they were issued the first patent, FIP
Industriale have always considered the activities of the Research &
Development Department as being of fundamental importance.
Products and equipment currently proposed and used for civil engineering
purposes were developed and perfected in our in-house research
laboratories, by our highly qualified technical staff.
The Research & Development Department works out innovative solutions,
in close co-operation with the Technical Department and the Test
Laboratory, and for projects of a wider scope, also with Italian and
foreign universities, research centres, laboratories and industries.
The main project goal was the development of special rubber isolators
with performance characteristics variable over a wide range by acting on
a limited number of design parameters. In particular, isolators were
developed which are characterised by their different horizontal stiffness
along the two perpendicular axes, and are especially useful for
applications in bridges and viaducts.
Among the great number of experimental tests carried out during the
course of the project, special mention shall be made of earthquake
simulation tests:
