Rocking vibration with friction
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2016 The rocking vibration with friction is focused in this study. The fall down conditions of the rocking system with friction are clarified. Rocking vibration is the rotational motion around the both ends of the structure and occurs when the structure is ...

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2017 This paper proposes a slotting construction strategy to avoid shear behavior of multistory masonry buildings. The aspect ratio of masonry piers increases via slotting between spandrels and piers, so that the limit state of piers under an earthquake may ...

Rocking Rotation of a Rigid Disk Embedded in a Transversely Isotropic Half-Space [PDF]
Civil Engineering Infrastructures Journal, 2014 The asymmetric problem of rocking rotation of a circular rigid disk embedded in a finite depth of a transversely isotropic half-space is analytically addressed. The rigid disk is assumed to be in frictionless contact with the elastic half-space.

Effect of Interaction and Rocking Motion on The Earthquake Response of Buildings [PDF]
Journal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2015 Usually structures are designed under codes based on the assumption that the soil stiffness is infinite, so the foundation rests firmly on the soil. In many cases, the overturning moment due to the lateral forces may exceed the resisting moment due to ...
