A simple procedure to approximate slip displacement of freestanding rigid body subjected to earthquake motions.

A simple calculation procedure for estimating absolute maximum slip displacement of a freestanding rigid body placed on the ground or floor of linear/nonlinear multi-storey building during an earthquake is developed. The proposed procedure uses the displacement induced by the horizontal sinusoidal a...
