| description | Rocking shallow foundations can be used as an effective seismic isolation means to reduce earthquake-induced damage to structures by utilizing nonlinearities arising from base uplifting and soil yielding. A number of studies have been devoted to the proposal of inelastic displacement ratios for estimating the maximum inelastic displacement demands on yielding structures on rocking shallow foundations for seismic evaluation purposes. However, there is a lack of methods for estimating structural deformations associated with damage to structures, which are usually measured using structural drift ratios. Since drift ratios of structures on rocking foundations consist of contributions due to foundation rocking, it is necessary to figure out whether these rocking rotations should be removed from structural drift ratios to obtain effective structural drift ratios related solely to structural straining. A comprehensive parametric analysis is carried out in this study to quantify the contribution of foundation rocking. Based on the results, a structural displacement ratio is proposed to estimate effective structural drift ratios excluding foundation rocking rotation, and an empirical expression is provided so that effective structural drift ratios can be directly obtained using available expressions for the inelastic displacement ratios of rocking shallow foundations. |
