Interactions between adjacent, insufficiently separated buildings have been repeatedly
observed during major earthquakes. This phenomenon, known as the earthquake-induced …

Structural interactions between adjacent, insufficiently separated buildings have been
repeatedly observed during damaging ground motions. This phenomenon, known as the …

Earthquake-induced structural pounding may result in considerable damage or even
collapse of colliding structures during severe ground motions. The aim of the paper is to …

The aim of the present paper is to analyse earthquake induced pounding between two
insufficiently separated buildings with different dynamic characteristics. In the analysis …

The pounding between adjacent buildings in city blocks due to earthquakes is investigated
through numerical simulations. The buildings are idealized as a series of lumped mass …

Seismic excitation, which results in large horizontal relative displacements, may cause
collisions between two adjacent structures due to insufficient separation distance between …

Past severe earthquakes indicate that structural pounding may cause considerable damage
or even lead to collapse of colliding structures if the separation distance between them is not …

Earthquake-induced pounding between buildings has been the subject of numerous
numerical and experimental studies in the resent years. The phenomenon may cause …

Earthquakes are the most unpredictable damaging loads which can affect civil engineering
structures. Due to insufficient separation distance between adjacent structures with different …

Post-earthquake damage investigations have illustrated that buildings are exposed to suffer
severe damage or to collapse during moderate to strong ground motion. Among these …
