DESCRIPTION:Contemporary seismic design standards are rooted in the notion
  of collapse-prevention during major seismic events\, ensuring a predictab
 le failure mode and minimizing casualties. This prevailing design strategy
  leads to permanent structural deformations\, astounding economic losses a
 nd disruption of businesses and social systems in the aftermath of earthqu
 akes. In this context\, allowing the buildings to uplift has been proposed
  as an alternative to minimize post-earthquake damage and disruption. Howe
 ver\, for all the benefits of this innovative proposal\, rocking motion ca
 n increase the building deformations and accelerations hindering its damag
 e-avoidance capabilities. This presentation will introduce alternative con
 figurations of rocking structures equipped with seismic control technologi
 es that have the potential to reach a true damage-avoidance performance. T
 he application of fundamental knowledge gained from simplified models to t
 he practical design of typical rocking buildings is highlighted. \n
