Very few obseryationa 【studies have been performed on rocking motions ofs [ end ¢ r seismiGa 闘 y isolated bundings . The intent of this paper is . to Glarify the ac 加 al rocking mechanism of a slender isolaIed building by syst ¢ m identification analyses using carthquake response records . A わ aramctriG system identification technique proposed in 由 is paper is applied to ovaluate the structural properties ofthe buiLding induding the axial stiffness ofisolators . The identification resul !s suggest that soil − structure interaction affects the rocklng mo 【ion of the build 巾 g. Varieus numerical ana ] yses are perfbrmed to confirm the soil − structure interaction effects ,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
