While the rocking response of rigid blocks has been studied extensively, a comparison of contents rocking throughout a building has never been examined. First a four story SCBF was designed and subjected to 20 ground motions at the DBE level. Both the horizontal and vertical floor accelerations were recorded at various locations on each story. These floor accelerations were then used to determine the rocking responses of a variety of different size and slenderness blocks. The effect of the vertical component on the rocking response was examined and found to be insignificant. This means that the location of an object within a given story does not affect its response. The stockier blocks had increasing rocking response higher up the building as expected due to the larger accelerations. However, this result was less distinct for mid-slenderness blocks. Interestingly, for slender blocks the content’s height within the building had little effect on its rocking response.
