As seismic design increasingly emphasises not only safety but also community resilience, engineers are seeking structural systems that can efficiently achieve enhanced performance objectives.
Controlled rocking systems offer one such solution: simply by allowing targeted structural elements to uplift from the foundation under large lateral loads, peak seismic forces are limited in a way that avoids structural damage and residual deformations. This rocking behaviour can then be controlled using post-tensioning and/or energy dissipation.
This seminar will draw on examples from both research and practice to illustrate the opportunities and challenges of implementing controlled rocking in steel, mass timber, and reinforced masonry.
