Rocking and kinematic approaches for rigid block analysis of masonry walls: State of the art and recent developments
C Casapulla, L Giresini, PB Lourenço - Buildings, 2017 - mdpi.com
The assessment of the rocking and overturning response of rigid blocks to earthquakes is a
complex task, due to its high sensitivity to the input motion, variations in geometry and …

Shake table testing of a rocking podium: Results of a blind prediction contest
Rocking motion is sensitive to the boundary and initial conditions of a rocking structure,
making experiments nonrepeatable. Thus, the claims that numerical rocking motion models …

Preliminary results of shake table tests of a typical museum display case containing an art object
The seismic response of freestanding elements is typically extremely critical, and this is
associated with a high seismic risk in the case of museum objects and artefacts. This paper …

Displacement‐based analysis and design of rocking structures
N Reggiani Manzo, MF Vassiliou - Earthquake Engineering & …, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
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 …

Rolling and rocking of rigid uplifting structures
JA Bachmann, MF Vassiliou… - … & Structural Dynamics, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
Allowing structures to uplift modifies their seismic response; uplifting works as a mechanical
fuse and limits the forces transmitted to the superstructure. However, engineers are …
