Influence of Elastomeric Bearings in Tension on the Seismic Performance of Base-Isolated r.c. Buildings

Elastomeric bearings are commonly used in base-isolation systems to protect the structures from earthquake damages. Their design is usually developed by using nonlinear models where only the effects of shear and compressive loads are considered, but uncertainties still remain about consequences of t...
