👉 In physics and engineering, an "upbearing" is a type of material that can withstand an upward force without breaking or deformation. This property makes it useful for structures where there is a requirement for stability but not necessarily rigidity, such as in bridges and buildings. In simpler terms, the term refers to materials that are able to resist forces that are applied upwards (upward tension), while also being able to withstand compressive forces without breaking or deformation. This can be particularly useful for structures where
