Abstract:: In view of the situation that rubber isolation bearing was not widely used in rural low-rise masonry structure, a new installation method of rubber isolation bearing was designed. Seismic performance and integrity of superstructure adopting the design and traditional isolation design were compared and analyzed. The principles of isolation bearing arrangement and placing method were given. Construction schemes of the special parts, such as door opening, indoor and outdoor staircases and pipeline, etc. were proposed. The construction technology of installing rubber isolation bearing and the problems that should be keeping in mind were proposed. The results show that the design method has low costs, simply construction craft and better isolation effect by using the method in low-rise housing. The proposed isolation design can be applied to rural lowrise masonry structure building.
