Damage-based seismic planar pounding analysis of adjacent symmetric buildings considering inelastic structure-soil-structure interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In cities and urban areas, building structures located at close proximities inevitably interact under dynamic loading by direct pounding and indirectly through the underlying soil.

SEISMIC POUNDING OF MULTISTOREYED BUILDINGS

open access: yesInternational Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology, 2013
The investigations made by past and present earthqu ake seismologist have shown that during earthquake, the building structures are vulnerable to severe damages. The adjacent building s collide and collapse during moderate to strong gr ound vibrations caused by earthquakes.

Seismic Design of Bridges for Prevention of Girder Pounding

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Structural Engineering, 2008
In design of conventional bridges the gap between bridge spans is usually only a few centimetres. For such an expansion joint poundings between adjacent bridge girders during strong earthquake shaking are usually unavoidable. Pounding often causes damages to girders. In extreme situations it may push one of the bridge decks off the support.

Structural Pounding Effect on the Seismic Performance of a Multistorey Reinforced Concrete Frame Structure

open access: yesInfrastructures, 2023
During intense ground motion excitations, the pounding between adjacent buildings may result in extensive structural damage. Despite the provision of regulations regarding the minimum separation gap required to prevent structural collisions, the majority

Swedish National Seismic Network

open access: yes, 1904
The Swedish National Seismic Network (SNSN) started with the installation of a Wiechert seismograph in Uppsala in 1904. Since 1998 the SNSN is a part of the Department of Earth Sciences at Uppsala University.

Seismic Pounding Effects in Buildings [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Major seismic events during the past decade such as those that have occurred in Northridge, Imperial Valley (May 18, 1940), California (1994), Kobe, Japan (1995), Turkey (1999), Taiwan (1999) and Bhuj, Central Western India (2001) have continued to ...

Numerical Simulations of 5‐Story Building Using Wood Light‐Frame Shear Walls and Post‐Tensioned Cross‐Laminated Timber Rocking Wall Dual Systems

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study explores the seismic performance of a five‐story prototype building using different configurations of a dual lateral force‐resisting system (LFRS) combining post‐tensioned cross‐laminated timber rocking walls (PT‐CLT‐RW) with conventional wood light‐frame shear walls (LiFS).

Correlation of the Near-Fault Pulse-like Ground Motion Characteristics with the Vulnerability of Buildings

open access: yesBuildings
Determining the impact of pulse-type earthquake characteristics on the vulnerability of base-isolated buildings under non-pounding conditions has yielded conflicting results in previous studies.

Collapse-Pounding Dynamic Responses of Adjacent Frame Structures under Earthquake Action

open access: yesAdvances in Civil Engineering, 2020
There are a large number of adjacent buildings in practical engineering application. The structure will collapse and impact the adjacent structures once the weak column is destroyed under seismic action, and, finally, the earthquake damage is aggravated.

Sustainable and Seismically Resilient Confined Masonry: Global Progress in Research and Design Practice

open access: yesEarthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 4, November 2026.
Modern confined masonry (CM) construction consists of masonry walls confined by reinforced concrete (RC) tie‐columns and tie‐beams. When built correctly, CM buildings have shown good performance in earthquake's shaking. Even though CM construction has been practised for almost a century in some Latin American countries, its use and standardisation are ...
