This paper discusses an equivalent linearization method by making use of stiffness matrix with complex numbers for laminated rubber bearings in a basis of slope deflextion method including of shear deformation. The paper shows that the values inducted by the proposed method agrees fairly to the experimental results gived by horizontal load and bending load tests. Thus it can be said that the proposed method gives the foundation of a performance based design method to be able to estimate energy absorption effect of laminated rubber bearing.
