The Tension Capable Bearing can accommodate structure vertical loads that vary from compression to tension during seismic movements. This bearing can substantially reduce structural framing costs by preventing uplift of a primary structural member, and can eliminate concerns regarding potential structure overturning or large vertical earthquake motions
