Posttensioned bridge rocking systems have emerged as an alternative to traditional ductility
design where substructure elements, such as columns and piles, are designed to dissipate …

In this paper we provide an overview of recent research work that contributes to clarify the
effects of non-linear dynamic interaction on the seismic response of soil-foundation …

Several experimental studies have shown that rocking shallow foundations have beneficial
seismic performance features: recentering and energy dissipation with little damage. A new …

From results of a recent series of centrifuge model tests, this paper investigates the effects of
shape and embedment on the performance of rocking footings. Rectangular and H-shaped …

The major objective of this study is to correlate rocking foundation performance parameters
with their capacity parameters and earthquake demand parameters using results obtained …

ASCE 41-13 supports three methods of modeling the soil-structure interaction for rocking
footings as components of a foundation-building system: Method 1 uses uncoupled moment …

Although the nonlinear behavior of rocking shallow foundations has been experimentally
and numerically demonstrated as an effective tool to dissipate vibrational energy during …

Allowing a shallow foundation to rock during an earthquake offers many benefits and
importantly has demonstrated potential for improving a system's overall performance and …

The objective of this study is to develop data-driven predictive models for peak rotation and
factor of safety for tipping-over failure of rocking shallow foundations during earthquake …

Many physical model tests have examined the performance of rocking foundations during
cyclic and seismic loading. These tests varied in model size, testing equipment …
