CONSIDERATION OF POUNDING AND SSI IN ENERGY-BASED SEISMIC DESIGN OF BUILDINGS [PDF]

Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Computational Methods in Structural Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering (COMPDYN 2015), 2019
The energy demand on a given construction is commonly determined, in terms of equivalent velocity, from smoothed design spectra that are ordinarily derived after dynamic analyses on SDOF systems. The application to actual multi-story buildings is far from trivial, given that their behavior must be characterized with MDOF models; in this context, a ...

Damage-Involved Structural Pounding in Bridges under Seismic Excitation

, 2017
During severe earthquakes, pounding between adjacent superstructure segments of highway elevated bridges was often observed. It is usually caused by the seismic wave propagation effect and may lead to significant damage.

Cross‐Entropy of Power Spectral Density Function: A Modal Identification Framework

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 12, Page 3012-3028, 10 October 2026.
ABSTRACT The power spectral density (PSD) function of measured structural response contains a significant amount of information, including the modal parameters (natural frequencies, damping ratios). Output‐only system identification or modal identification technique can be used for extracting such modal parameters from the measured response or its ...

Analytical Framework for System‐Level Fragility Surfaces of Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Mainshock‐Aftershock Sequences

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3264-3284, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Conventional single intensity measure (IM) fragility approaches with simplified component dependency assumptions overlook the progressive damage accumulation and evolving inter‐component correlations that govern system behavior under mainshock‐aftershock (MSAS) loading.

Seismic Study of An Isolated Cable-Stayed Bridge under Near-Fault Ground Motions

Applied Sciences
During strong earthquakes, pounding may occur on large-span bridges and their approach bridges. The effect and mitigation measures of such pounding have rarely been explored in previous studies.

Pounding effects during an earthquake, with and without consideration of soil‑structure interaction [PDF]

Constructii: Journal of Civil Engineering Research, 2015
The pounding between adjacent buildings can cause both architectural and structural damages. The paper presents some aspects related to the Vrancea seismic motions pattern, a review of observed damages after a strong earthquake due to pounding of ...

Surrogate‐Based Time‐Continuous Seismic Fragility Assessment of Corrosion‐Deteriorated Reinforced Concrete Bridges Under Climate Change

Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, Volume 55, Issue 13, Page 3338-3362, 25 October 2026.
ABSTRACT Seismic fragility assessment of reinforced concrete (RC) bridges exposed to corrosive environments must reliably capture time‐dependent deterioration impacts. Climate change compounds this challenge through nonstationary temperature and humidity variations that accelerate bridge corrosion.

On critical pounding mechanism of base-isolated buildings using an optimized multi-hazard method

Results in Engineering
In many studies on the effect of pounding on isolated structures, the failure to consider all potential pounding scenarios, including floor-to-floor (FF), floor-to-column (FC), and pounding with a moat wall, can introduce uncertainty into the obtained ...

The Effectiveness of Rubber Bumpers in Reducing the Effects of Earthquake-Induced Pounding between Base-Isolated Buildings

Applied Sciences, 2022
The methods for preventing earthquake-induced structural pounding between two adjacent buildings include ensuring a sufficient separation distance between them or decreasing their relative displacement during seismic excitation.
