The main objective of this paper is to provide information to structural engineers on how to
consider and mitigate the phenomenon of pounding between adjacent structures during …

Investigations of past and recent earthquake damage have illustrated that the building
structures are vulnerable to severe damage and/or collapse during moderate to strong …

Analytical research on pounding is presented. It includes development of pounding dynamic
analysis programs, parameter studies on building pounding response as well as …

Seismic pounding has taken place in several earthquake events since adjacent structures
that lack adequate separation distance usually suffer from repetitive, severe collisions …

Post-earthquake damages investigation in past and recent earthquakes has illustrated that
the building structures are vulnerable to severe damage and/or collapse during moderate to …

Valuable insights on the problem of seismic pounding have been obtained recently from
analytical studies. So far, the proposed analytical models have not been validated …

Structural pounding has been observed in many previous earthquakes due to insufficient
gap commonly provided between adjacent structures. The collisions usually generate large …

Pounding between adjacent buildings was repeatedly observed during many major
earthquakes. Previous studies on building pounding are mainly based on the analytical and …

Shaking table tests have been carried out to investigate the pounding phenomenon
between two steel towers of different natural frequencies and damping ratios, subject to …

Pounding or collisions between adjacent buildings occur as a result of building lateral
vibrations during strong ground shaking. Pounding creates additional forces and causes …
