Seismic resilient design of tall bridge piers with rocking foundation by using inerter-based
systems is investigated in this work. A simplified model is developed in OpenSees to …

An argument of engineers and researchers against the use of rocking as a seismic response
modification technique is that the rocking motion of a structure is chaotic and the existing …

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 …

A new finite element model to analyze the seismic response of deformable rocking bodies
and rocking structures is presented. The model comprises a set of beam elements to …

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 …

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 …

Rocking isolation of structures is evolving as an alternative design concept in earthquake
engineering. The present paper investigates the seismic performance of an actual overpass …

This paper extends previously developed models to account for the influence of the column
and the foundation masses on the behavior of top‐heavy deformable elastic cantilever …
