Pounds [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of Family Medicine, 2004
This is the story of a loving relationship between a doctor and a vibrant, elderly woman. In the story, the doctor learns to accept his patient's noncompliance with medical regimens; at the same time, he learns something about his own noncompliance.

Effectiveness of Using Polymer Bumpers to Mitigate Earthquake-Induced Pounding between Buildings of Unequal Heights

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2018
Collisions often happen between adjacent buildings without a sufficient gap under seismic loadings. Installing polymer bumpers may decrease the pounding forces between colliding buildings.

Seismic Effectiveness of Multiple Seismic Measures on a Continuous Girder Bridge

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2020
Seismic hazards, such as bridge pounding, unseating, collapse, etc., cause significant economic losses and affect traffic and safety. Research on seismic measures, such as limiting and unseating prevention devices for the bridge, can effectively prevent ...

Numerical Analysis of Seismic Pounding between Adjacent Buildings Accounting for SSI

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
The structural pounding caused by an earthquake may damage structures and lead to their collapse. This study is focused on the pounding between two adjacent asymmetric structures with different dynamic properties resting on the surface of an elastic half-

Experimental and numerical investigations on the effects of radius of curvature and longitudinal slope on the responses of curved bridges subject to seismic pounding

open access: yesMeasurement + Control, 2021
Because of the irregular geometries, earthquake-induced adjacent curved bridge pounding may lead to more complex local damage or even collapse. The relevant research is mainly concentrated on the numerical analysis which lack experimental verification ...

Evaluation of Park-Ang Damage Indicator in collisions of two adjacent frames under the near-fault field disturbances [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Structural and Construction Engineering, 2021
Pounding of adjacent buildings during earthquake causes local and total damages in buildings. One of the ways to reduce the damage in pounding, is creating a separation gap between two adjacent buildings.

Applicability of a Simplified SDOF Method in Longitudinal Deck-Pier Poundings of Simply Supported Girder Bridges

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2016
The pounding issue between decks in the earthquake has been a great concern of many researchers, but the research on the deck-pier pounding issue was inadequate. In this paper, a simplified SDOF method was proposed to study the issue for simply supported

Energy response analysis of adjacent structures with polymer bumpers under seismic loadings

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering, 2018
Insufficient gap between adjacent buildings may lead serious poundings under seismic loadings. Installing polymer bumpers may decrease the pounding forces between colliding buildings, which can prevent column yielding from overlarge shearing forces. This

Seismic Interaction between Multistory Pilotis RC Frames and Shorter Structures with Different Story Levels—Floor-to-Column Pounding

open access: yesCivilEng, 2023
Structural pounding between adjoining multistory buildings with different total heights and different story levels has been repeatedly identified as a frequent cause of severe damage during seismic excitations.
