## Abstract This paper deals with design of articulated mechanism using a trussβbased groundβstructure representation. The proposed method can accommodate extremely large displacement by considering geometric nonβlinearity. In addition, it can also control the mechanical degrees of freedom (DOF) of
Current seismic codes specify design earthquake loads as single events. The structure, however, may experience multiple ground accelerations in a short period of time. The evidence from recent earthquakes confirms this scenario. For instance, the 2004 Niigata earthquake consisted of two acceleration
