Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment
Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems constitute a promising design practice.

Shaking table tests on seismic response of rocking frame structure considering foundation uplift
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.

Optimized design of bi-rocking steel braced frames via changing the second rocking joint location [PDF]
After an earthquake, plastic deformation of structural elements can render repairing uneconomical, thus necessitating the adoption of low-damage systems that mitigate the residual drift of structures. Among these, self-centering rocking-core systems have

Effect of Interaction and Rocking Motion on The Earthquake Response of Buildings [PDF]
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 ...

The structures of noncrystalline rocks
The structural studies of noncrystalline rocks by total radial distribution function (RDF) which was derived from the wide angular X-ray scattering (WAXS) have been reported. In order to make a further study of the structural features shown by RDF, the unsymmetric peaks in total RDF were separated into the approximately symmetric peaks by the multi ...
