Abstract: This paper evaluating the behavior, performance and experimental of elastomeric bearings. The study includes an experimental evaluation and elastomeric bearing should satisfy the following condition as per IRC 83 (Part II) CODE. The experimental investigation studied the elastomeric bearing, elastomer, reinforced bearing and unreinforced bearing behavior in less hardness, tensile strength, elongation at break, shear modulus, strength on elastomer, compression, shear, moment, rotation, horizontal and vertical force. The elastomer considerable under load and return to their original shape on removal of the load. The elongation can range up to 10 times their original dimensions. The chemical process for rubber or related to polymer into more durable material by heating them with sulfur is more percentage to produce an unreinforced elastomeric bearing.
