Popis:	Flexural yielding is a source of deformability and damping in building frames. Base sliding is a source of deformability and damping in broad unanchored objects. Slender objects have a tendency to rock than slide during earthquakes. Limited rocking can be a source of deformability for slender objects. Unlike sliding, rocking is not a significant source of damping. Rocking response is highly nonlinear. This chapter discusses nonlinear-static and nonlinear-dynamic analyses of base rocking. This chapter also introduces the concept of toppling response spectrum.
