Abstract;It is pointed out that the effects of rocking vibration (uplift response) may reduce seismic damage of buildings subjected to strong earthquake ground motions. Based on this knowledge, some rocking structural systems, which are one kind of passive vibration control systems, have been proposed and developed. In this study, seismic response characteristics of these rocking structural systems are investigated based on shaking table tests using small-scale specimens. (author abst.)
