A comparative study of alternative Intensity Measures (IMs) for structures of rocking
response is presented, focusing on the salient characteristics that define the selection of an …

With growing interest in rocking structures, it is important to quantify the effects of ground
motion processing schemes on rocking response. To this end, this paper studied the …

The seismic response of freestanding objects is a fundamental problem in earthquake
engineering that is usually handled with the aid of the rocking block theory, ie assuming …

With consideration of seismic resilience, damage of nonstructural components (NSCs)
attracts significant attentions. Most previous studies focused on dynamic behaviors of NSCs …

This paper presents the shake table testing and finite element (FE) modeling of a modular
prefabricated concrete bridge‐like specimen. The specimen comprised four equal‐height …

A variety of structural members and non-structural components, including bridge piers,
museum artifacts, furniture, or electrical and mechanical equipment, can uplift and rock …

This paper presents a three-dimensional finite element (FE) model to predict the seismic
response of a bridge-like model with restrained rocking piers. The model comprises four …

Structures that can uplift and rock under severe seismic excitations present remarkable
stability without exhibiting damage. As such, rocking-response-based structural systems …

Recorded ground motions require filtering and baseline correction to remove noise that
results in unrealistic velocity and displacement time histories. The effect of ground motion …

This study emphasizes the explainability of machine learning (ML) models in predicting the
seismic response of rigid rocking structures, specifically using the LightGBM algorithm. By …
