工程结构旋转地震效应的观测已有几百年历史, 但是直至20 世纪的很长一段时间内,
学者们普遍认为旋转地震动微弱, 旋转地震动效应可以忽略不计. 但是, 近几十年来 …

It is convenient to synthesize the Fourier spectra of the rocking ground motions at a station
from the recorded translational motions at the same station. The conventional models in this …

This work is on the influence of the rotational component of earthquake excitations to the
response of steel structures. In most studies, seismic input is being modeled only using the …

Well-known problem with seismic design codes is that it does not take into account the
rotational earthquake components. Only Eurocode 8, in Part 6, offers response spectra of …

The authors would like to thank the discussers for their interest in the above paper [1]. The
discussers'[2] main critique was focused on the 5 Hz high-cut filter we imposed on the …

Rotational seismic ground motions are subject of wide investigations among seismologists
and engineers (see eg special issues of BSSA [1], and Journal of Seismology [2]). While …

Despite the growing interest in seismic ground strains and rotations within the seismological
and engineering communities, the scarce number of direct measurements or indirect …

For many years only three translational components of surface seismic ground motions:•
horizontal: u (t), v (t) along x & y axes and• vertical w (t) along axis z were applied in seismic …

It is well known that the surface rotation (rocking) can be derived using translational records
acquired at the ground surface either from surface waves propagation, usually from distant …

The Dynamic Variable Energy Penetrometer (PANDA® or PANDA 3®) allows an estimation
of soil properties almost continuously with depth. This lightweight tool also has the …
