Displacement-based analysis and design of rocking structures
Earthquake Engineering and Structural Dynamics, 2019 The response of a rigid rocking block is traditionally described by its tilt angle. This is a correct description, but this paper suggests that describing rocking via displacements is more meaningful, because it uncovers that two geometrically similar ...

Comparative Assessment of Two Rocking Isolation Techniques for a Motorway Overpass Bridge
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2017 Rocking isolation of structures is evolving as an alternative design concept in earthquake engineering. The present paper investigates the seismic performance of an actual overpass bridge of the Attiki Odos motorway (Athens, Greece), employing two ...

Advanced Functional Materials, 2023 The complementary electrochromic device, where the optical transmittance changes upon the flow of cations back and forth between anodic and cathodic electrodes, operates in a rocking‐chair fashion if it can inherently self‐discharge.

Rocking Analysis of Towers Subjected to Horizontal Forces
Buildings, 2023 In seismic-prone areas, ecclesiastical masonry complexes have shown very high vulnerability, as detected after the last Italian earthquakes, such as those that occurred in L’Aquila (2009), Emilia-Romagna (2012), Central Italy (2016), and Ischia (2017 ...

Shaking table tests on seismic response of rocking frame structure considering foundation uplift
Yantu gongcheng xuebao, 2021 The separation of structural foundation and foundation soil, namely the foundation uplift, is inevitable in strong earthquakes, so the concept of rocking isolation is gradually proposed.

The rock, the whole rock, and everything about the rock
In Situ Archaeologica, 2023 The traditional documentation methods of rock art only rarely record the context and relations of the imagery in full. The new 3D techniques, however, offer interesting possibilities for documenting and analyzing petroglyphs, and are well-equipped to suit such tasks.
