An argument of engineers and researchers against the use of rocking as a seismic response
modification technique is that the rocking motion of a structure is chaotic and the existing …

桥梁作为交通生命线的枢纽工程, 是交通基础设施震后功能恢复的关键所在.
摇摆结构可将地震损伤控制在摇摆界面以避免主体结构破坏, 且具有较好的抗震性能和自复位 …

第二代基于性能地震工程理论中的地震易损性主要是指结构构件以及非结构构件的抗震能力,
与传统地震风险理论中的地震易损性定义和内涵并不相同. 为了澄清二者的不一致性 …

A new finite element model to analyze the seismic response of deformable rocking bodies
and rocking structures is presented. The model comprises a set of beam elements to …

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 …

A rocking podium structure is a class of structures consisting of a superstructure placed on
top of a rigid slab supported by free‐standing columns. The free‐standing columns respond …

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 …

This paper extends previously developed models to account for the influence of the column
and the foundation masses on the behavior of top‐heavy deformable elastic cantilever …

In order to use rocking as a seismic response modification strategy along both directions of
seismic excitation, a three‐dimensional (3D) rocking model should be developed. Since …

This paper presents the shake table test results of a novel system for the design of precast
reinforced concrete bridges. The specimen comprises a slab and four precast columns. The …
