Researchers and engineers have shown a keen interest in the impact of soil-structure
interaction (SSI) on seismic response of structures throughout the past three decades. Less …

In this paper, the authors discuss the extensive structural pounding observed in Mexico City
during the September 19, 2017 earthquake. A critical review of the recommendations …

The risk of pounding between adjacent structures during earthquakes may considerably
depend on the effects of Soil Structure Interaction (SSI) between the soil, the foundation and …

This paper is dedicated to evaluate the nonlinear Soil–Structure Interaction (SSI) impact on
the earthquake-based response of vertically irregular reinforced concrete (RC) moment …

The behavior of a mixed structure and its interaction with the underlying soil are challenging
problems for engineers. Current codes and available commercial software packages do not …

This study investigates the seismic response of two 20-story adjacent reinforced concrete
structures with differing lateral load-bearing systems, emphasizing the influence of soil …

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

In metropolitan areas with large populations, buildings are often constructed adjacent to
each other with insufficient gaps which leads to potential collisions during seismic events …

The pounding between two structures may cause severe damage, as demonstrated during
historical seismic events. In particular, the effects of the continuity between the foundations …

Pounding between adjacent buildings and their devastating effects have been frequently
reported during numerous major earthquakes. Although poundings exhibit more destructive …
