The rocking response of a family of bodies given by its width and height due to synthetic and recorded strong ground motions is presented; this allow us to identify the main parameters that govern their response: peak acceleration and velocity, dominant frequency, and acceleration time-history. Recorded strong ground motions were scaled to the same peak acceleration and also to the same peak velocity to analyze the effect of both parameters in the response of rigid bodies. These three parameters were used to build an equation to obtain the height/width overturning plots. The proposed equation was tested for many well-known strong ground motions and the results were compared to other methods shown to be more accurate. This parametric equation does not need iterations or numerical approximations to be solved and can provide engineers, in a very practical way, minimum design requirements or particular specifications to protect non structural elements. |
