description | This research investigates the convenience of structural identification tools to detect the rocking motion tendency, using as input the structural response to ambient vibrations. The rocking ratio and rocking spectrum are proposed as original tools to highlight the rocking motion and its frequency content. The proposed procedure allows the detection and quantification of rocking using only building vertical motion records in both cases of ambient vibration and earthquake. First, three-dimensional finite element models of reinforced concrete buildings are adopted to simulate the structural response to white noise vibration. Different low- and high-rise buildings are studied, having framed structure and frame–wall system, regular and irregular structure, shallow foundation and underground floors. The structural response obtained numerically is analyzed using different signal processing tools to obtain the dynamic features of buildings, and the rocking motion tendency is identified by comparison with a reference fixed base condition. Then, the reliability of the proposed methodology to detect rocking motion attitude, using only the structural motion, is verified and quantified using the proposed tools. Finally, the same approach is applied to real structural motion records of a high-rise reinforced concrete building. |
