Influence of soil parameters on the motion of rocking walls
… a system in earthquake engineering in 2004 [6], rocking walls are a fairly new system in earthquake engineering. Their performance has been proven, both in research as in practice. However, a few uncertainties about their behavior still remain. One of these uncertainties is the effect of …

Construction and seismic testing of a resilient two-story mass timber structure with cross laminated rocking walls
… structure with a resilient post-tensioned rocking wall lateral system made from cross laminated timber (CLT) product. The post-tensioned rocking walls helped to dissipate seismic forces while allowing the other parts of the structure to remain damage-free through multiple seismic events. …

Investigation of Modular Cross-Laminated Timber Rocking Walls and Rocking Wall -- Light-Frame Shear Wall Dual Systems for Seismic Resilience
… design of post-tensioned cross-laminated timber rocking walls (PT-CLT-RW) for resilient wood construction. This research focuses on experimental, analytical, and numerical investigations into PT-CLT-RW systems, both as stand-alone and as a dual lateral force resisting systems (LFRS) with wood …

Design of innovative dynamic systems for seismic response mitigation
Rocking wall systems consist of shear walls, laterally connected to a building, that are moment-released in their strong plane. Their purpose is to mitigate seismic structural response by constraining a building primarily to a linear fundamental mode. This constraint prevents mid-story failure, and …

Adeguamento sismico di edifici in c.a. mediante pareti oscillanti
La presente Tesi di Dottorato ha come oggetto l’adeguamento sismico di edifici intelaiati in cemento armato attraverso la tecnica delle pareti oscillanti in combinazione con dissipatori passivi. Una parete oscillante è un elemento rigido a sviluppo verticale libero di ruotare intorno alla propria …
