Sivapalan Gajan, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur |The effectiveness of structural fuse mechanisms used to improve the performance of buildings during seismic loading depends on their capacity, ductility, energy dissipation, isolation, and self-centering characteristics. Although rocking shallow[...]

Sivapalan Gajan, Auteur ; Kutter, Bruce L., Auteur |It has been recognized that the ductility demands on a superstructure might be reduced by allowing rocking behavior and mobilization of the ultimate capacity of shallow foundations during seismic loading. However, the absence of practical reliab[...]
