Analysis of the Influence of the Stiffness Ratio of Rocking Walls on the Fragility of Step-Terrace Frame–Energy-Dissipation Rocking Wall Structures in Mountain Cities

Abstract

AbstractA rocking wall controls the overall deformation mode of a structure and the distribution of plastic energy dissipation, and prevents failure caused by weak stories. A step-terrace frame structure has serious problems of irregular lateral stiffness,...
