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 …

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 presents the results of a series of shake table tests of two 460-mm-diameter
columns supported on 1.5-meter-square shallow rocking foundations. The tests were …

The uplifting and rocking of slender, free-standing structures when subjected to ground
shaking may limit appreciably the seismic moments and shears that develop at their base …

This paper presents new results of centrifuge model tests exploring the behavior of rocking
shallow foundations embedded in dry sand, which provides a variety of factors of safety for …

This paper numerically investigates the three-dimensional seismic response of six
reinforced concrete bridges hypothetically located in Oakland, California, 3 km from the …

Experimental proof is provided of an unconventional seismic design concept, which is based
on deliberately underdesigning shallow foundations to promote intense rocking oscillations …

Numerous field tests indicate that the soil–structure interaction (SSI) has a significant impact
on the dynamic characteristics of super-tall buildings, which may lead to unexpected …

A half century ago, explained that there is a safety margin between uplifting and overturning
of slender, free‐standing columns and that as the size of the column or the frequency of the …

Rocking isolation is one of the most effective methods to minimize the structural damage to
bridge piers caused by earthquakes. The system safeguards the structure from seismic …
