There is a new trend to allow uplift in structures to have maximum energy dissipation during
strong ground motion. This aspect needs to be studied in detail, particularly in three …

Some spread footings of real engineering practices of bridges in Taiwan were found to be
uneconomically large due to the restriction of foundation uplift regulated in design code …

Concerning an uplift nonlinear analysis method, analytical results were compared with test
results through simulation by a proposed method. In the model test with a shaking table, it …

Experimental and analytical studies of a seismically isolated five-story model structure are
conducted to understand the behavior of a novel uplift-prevention Friction Pendulum …

Foundation uplifting or rocking has been explored as an isolation technique by many
researchers. It introduces alternate modes of nonlinearity and energy dissipation as …

In this study, two varieties of non-linear seismic response analyses are performed in order to
evaluate the influences of geometrical non-linearity due to basemat uplift on the embedded …

Following multiple earthquakes in Algeria, large numbers of reinforced concrete structures
have been severely damaged or destroyed, making it necessary to evaluate the actual …

Sliding isolation systems have found applications for earthquake resistant design of
buildings and highway bridges. In practice, uplift restraints are generally incorporated with …

Rehabilitation of vulnerable existing structures against earthquakes is essential. Structures
need to be retrofitted for a variety of reasons, such as change of use, structural elements …

Uplift of a structure is a seismic isolation technique: it works as a structural fuse limiting the
maximum base moment (rocking foundation) or base shear (rocking podium) transferred to …
