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

Structural pounding due to strong seismic excitations can result in severe damage or even
collapse of colliding structures. Many researchers focused on studying the mutual pounding …

The collision between adjacent buildings with an insufficient seismic separation distance
has been reported after earthquakes. This collision between adjacent buildings, commonly …

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 …

In recent years the pounding of adjacent structures during earthquakes has been receiving
considerable attention. Seismic pounding occurs due to collision of two adjacent buildings …

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

Pounding of neighbouring construction of structures due to seismic excitation increases the
damage of structural components or even causes collapse of structures. Among the possible …

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

Pounding between adjacent structures is commonly observed phenomenon during
earthquakes. In metropolitan areas, due to increasing population and land values buildings …

The investigations made by past and present earthquake seismologist have shown that
during earthquake, the building structures are vulnerable to severe damages. The adjacent …
