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

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 …

Earthquake-induced pounding was experienced in many previous earthquakes and it was
found to be a critical issue. This study investigates the effect of pounding between buildings …

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 …

Many closely located adjacent buildings have suffered from pounding during past
earthquakes because they vibrated out of phase. Furthermore, buildings are usually …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …
