Displacement controlled rocking behaviour of rigid objects.

The capacity of a gravity structure to counter seismically induced overturning can only be estimated with good accuracy using a dynamic analysis of the rotational (rocking) motion involving large displacement theory. Seismic assessment employing quasi-static analysis can be overly conservative if th...
