The reports after earthquakes indicate that earthquake-induced pounding between
insufficiently separated structures, or their parts, may cause substantial damage or even …

The reports after major ground motions indicate that earthquake-induced pounding between
buildings may lead to substantial damage or even collapse of colliding structures. The …

Mutual pounding between structures during earthquakes may cause serious structural
damage. The aim of this paper is to show the results of a shaking table experimental study …

Structural pounding between adjacent, insufficiently separated buildings, or bridge
segments, has been repeatedly observed during seismic excitations. Such earthquake …

Historical buildings in seismically active regions are severely damaged by earthquakes,
since they certainly were not designed by the original builders to withstand seismic effects …

Earthquake-induced pounding between adjacent buildings has been identified as one of the
reasons for substantial damage or even total collapse of colliding structures. A major reason …

It has been observed during earthquakes that adjacent building, or bridge segments, might
come into contact if the separation distance between them is not sufficient so as to …

Adjacent buildings subjected to seismic excitations collide against each other when the
separation distance is not large enough to accommodate the displacement response of 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 …

Abstract During the San Fernando Earthquake (1971), two of the three triaxial recording
instruments placed in an 18-story steel building in Los Angeles recorded the impact with an …
