Abstract
The invention is a resilient pad for placement under a floor system. The pad is made up of a base and a plurality of pad elements spaced longitudinally apart and attached to the base. At least one of the pad elements has a thickness which is greater than another of the pad elements. Because the pad elements have different thicknesses, the resilient pad provides desirable response and shock-absorption characteristics over a wide range of applied loads. Hence, the resilient pad is especially suitable for use with sports floors and the like.
