Two, the most intensive 6-dof ground motion records were selected from a database of a
program of acquiring seismic aftershocks at Kefalonia Greek Island as reported by Perron et …

The rocking response of a family of bodies given by its width and height due to synthetic and
recorded strong ground motions is presented; this allow us to identify the main parameters …

This paper is concerned with the superficial similarities and fundamental differences
between the oscillatory response of a single‐degree‐of‐freedom (SDOF) oscillator (regular …

This note describes the rotational seismic load definition as included in Part 6 of Eurocode 8.
The Eurocode 8, Part 6, definition of the rotational ground-motion component depends upon …

The rocking response of structures subjected to strong ground motions is a problem of
'several scales'. While small structures are sensitive to acceleration pulses acting …

This study investigates the consequences of neglecting the contributions of the rocking
component in earthquake ground motions during response calculations of rigid base …

Structural or foundation rocking are effective ways to prevent the development of large force
demands in building systems experiencing ground shaking. In practice, structural rocking …

This thesis describes an investigation into the dynamic response of structures that are
permitted to rock or uplift when subjected to ground excitations. Previous studies have …

In this study two novel spectral ground motion intensity measures (IMs) are presented. The
proposed IMs are calculated throughout the rocking rotational and the angular velocity …

An approximation is developed for obtaining the nonlinear stiffness K_ R KR and damping
C_ R CR of a shallow circular or strip footing undergoing rocking oscillation on a …
