DOI: 10.1038/s41598-025-98940-x
Abstract: Rocking foundations offer potential benefits, such as energy dissipation and reduced superstructure ductility demand during severe earthquake loadings. However, it can result in residual deformations at the soil-foundation interface, and uncertainties regarding its performance still… read more here.
