Abstract

The pounding of adjacent structures during earthquakes has been receiving considerable attention in recent years. This is because adjacent structures with inadequate clear spacing between them have suffered considerable structural and non-structural damage as a result of their collision during major earthquakes. The different dynamic characteristics of adjacent buildings make then vibrate out of phase, and pounding occurs if there is a lack of sufficient space between them.
