## 5 Conclusions  
In this paper, fabric core conveyor belt rubber bearing (CBRB) with low cost and simple manufacturing process, and construction has been proposed, in order to improve anti-seismic capacities of low-rise buildings. The vertical compressive test and the horizontal compression shear test were carried out on four bearings, and the mechanical properties of each bearing obtained by the test were analyzed and compared. The concluding remarks are as follows:  
* Under a vertical pressure of 4 Mpa, as the number of fabric core layer increases, the vertical stiffness of the bearings increases, while the damping ratio decreases. The minimum value of the vertical damping ratio is 6.3%. In the overpressure test, the vertical pressure of CBRB reached 10 MPa without damage.
* CBRB works very well within 100% shear strain. The horizontal stiffness of the bearings decreases with increasing shear strain. When the bearings do not slide, the effective horizontal damping ratio decreases with increasing shear strain, and the damping ratio is about 15%. The effective horizontal stiffness and damping ratio of the patterned bearing are slightly larger, but considering that its residual displacement during vertical compression is significantly larger, it is not recommended to be used in structures.
* In the ultimate horizontal shear test of CBRB, when the shear strain exceeds 150%, the interlayer dislocation within the bearing was already obvious. The reason is that the bonding quality between the conveyor belt layers limits the continued loading. The question of how to improve the bonding quality and the shear deformation capacity of CBRB will be the focus of subsequent researches.
* From the comprehensive view of the mechanical properties of CBRB, the bearing has low horizontal stiffness, good energy dissipation capacity, low cost and convenient production and construction.

Therefore, it is very suitable for the earthquake-resistant construction of low-rise buildings in high intensity areas, to reduce the loss of life and improve property safety.  
In the subsequent research, we will consider using the new bearing in a low-rise building through shaking table experiments and numerical simulations to further investigate the performance of the bearing in buildings.
