In order to develop a rigid sliding plate-reset rubber isolation bearing, the friction characteristics of the rigid bearing sliding element, the shear characteristic of the pressure-free reset rubber block and the mechanical properties of the whole bearing were studied. The mechanical properties of the whole bearing were also analyzed using the ABAQUS finite element model. The results show that, the dynamic friction coefficient of the rigid pressure-bearing sliding element is changing from 0.020 to 0.027, and the horizontal equivalent stiffness of the pressure-free reset rubber element is 129.33 kN/m. The rigid sliding plate-reset rubber bearing has strong plastic deformation ability and satisfactory energy dissipation ability. Which is considered as a kind of perfect stability isolation bearing under small shear displacement.
