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 …

The paper presents an extended seismic damage assessment of unanchored nonstructural
components by means of rigid block analysis. Both (real) ground and floor motions are …

An experimental investigation of hospital building equipment is presented. Dynamic
properties and seismic performance of typical ambulatory freestanding cabinets are …

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 …

This paper investigates the rocking behavior of rigid bodies seismically protected by means
of lead rubber bearings and high damping rubber bearings, which are the most popular …

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 …

This study focuses on structural systems, which are particularly attractive for bridge design.
Specifically, it investigates the seismic performance of single-column bridges, which are …

Rocking isolation has been increasingly studied as a promising design concept to limit the
earthquake damage of civil structures. Despite the difficulties and uncertainties of predicting …

The paper addresses the reliability of the existing shake table testing protocols for
assessment of the seismic response of freestanding, ie unanchored, components meant as …

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 …
