Unbonded steel-mesh-reinforced rubber bearings (USRBs) have been proposed as an alternative isolation bearing for small-to-medium-span highway bridges. It replaces the steel plate reinforcement of common unbonded laminated rubber bearings (ULNR) with spe...

When subjected to seismic activity, tall isolated buildings with a high aspect ratio are susceptible to overturning as a result of the failure of rubber isolation bearings under tension. In order to address this issue, a guided-rail tension device (GR) h...
