Foundation Rocking
Foundation Rocking

Perhaps this is a silly question, but can somebody explain what implies the term rocking in foundation seismic retrofit?
When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Foundation Rocking
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.

RE: Foundation Rocking
That might be possible but I'm accustomed to it essentially meaning whole building tipping / overturning without the wholesale yielding of foundation elements or the supporting soil.
I would think not but, then, I'm not a geotechnical expert and I many not fully appreciate the meaning behind the terminology that you're using.
