Hilbert–Huang-Transform-Based Seismic Intensity Measures for Rocking Response Assessment
Applied Sciences, 2023 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.

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

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.

Optimized design of bi-rocking steel braced frames via changing the second rocking joint location [PDF]
مهندسی عمران شریف, 2023 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]
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 ...

Seismic protection of rocking structures with inerters [PDF]
, 2018 The seismic behaviour of a wide variety of structures can be characterized by the rocking response of rigid blocks. Nevertheless, suitable seismic control strategies are presently limited and consist mostly on preventing rocking motion all together ...

Seismic control of flexible rocking structures using inerters [PDF]
, 2020 Allowing flexible structures to uplift and rock during earthquakes can significantly reduce the force demands and residual displacements. However, such structures are still susceptible to large deformations and accelerations that can compromise their ...

The structures of noncrystalline rocks
Chinese Science Bulletin, 2000 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 ...
