Abstract

Stochastic earthquake response of structures on sliding foundation is studied. The structure is modeled by a rigid mass and Coulomb friction is considered between the structure and its foundation. A nonstationary white noise model of earthquake ground motion is employed and the response of the system is investigated by the generalized method of equivalent linearization. The results are compared with those of the stationary analysis and some estimates for the maximum slip are obtained and discussed.
