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

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

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 …

This paper presents a simple and efficient methodology for the numerical simulation of
earthquake-induced pounding of adjacent buildings in three dimensions (3D). In the frames …

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

Past earthquakes have revealed detrimental effects of pounding on the seismic performance
of conventional fixed-supported buildings, ranging from light local damage to more severe …

Numerous urban seismic vulnerability studies have recognized pounding between adjacent
structures as one of the main risks for neighbouring buildings due to the restricted …

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