This paper explores the use of Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) for the rocking problem. The
paper adopts rigid rocking blocks of different sizes and slenderness, which undergo rocking …

A methodology is proposed to enable state‐of‐the‐art record selection using ground motion
components in all three principal loading directions. Relying on the well‐established …

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 parametric representation of rocking fragilities is statistically investigated. Initially, the
potential normalization of the rocking parameters to reduce the problem's dimensionality is …

The seismic response of a wide variety of structures, from small but irreplaceable museum
exhibits to large bridge systems, is characterized by rocking. In addition, rocking motion is …

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 …

This study investigates the idea of adding an extra magnetic restoring force to a rocking
block to improve its overall dynamic performance. The proposed concept ensues by …

Analytical expressions are proposed for predicting the rocking response of rigid free-
standing building contents subjected to seismic-induced floor excitations. The study …

This study addresses the modeling of different energy dissipation mechanisms for numerical
prediction of the vertical acceleration demand in regular moment-resisting steel frame …
