On the dynamics of rocking motion of single rigid–block structures
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of single rigid-block structures under dynamic loading is described, and two different tools for the numerical simulations of the rocking motion of rigid blocks are considered.
Experimental Dynamic Behavior of Free-Standing Multi-Block Structures Under Seismic Loadings
TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive experimental investigation has been carried out to study the rocking response of four single blocks of different geometry and associations of two and three blocks, which are large stones of high strength blue granite, were subjected to free vibration and harmonic and random motions of the base.
