The Shocking Secrets of Rocking Shear Walls
When a building with shallow foundations experiences a seismic event, the footings can uplift. This rocking behavior can have a profound impact on the building response. Specifically, allowing the footings to uplift can significantly reduce shear deformations in the lateral system. We validated this concept through our design and analysis of the San Francisco War Memorial Veterans Building. The results of this case study can be valuable in evaluating, retrofitting, and designing buildings in areas of high seismic risk.
