Effect of the seismic excitation angle on the dynamic response of adjacent buildings during pounding
Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Papaloizou, Loizos; Komodromos, Petros I.; Charmpis, Dimos C. (2015)The excitation angle or angle of incidence is the angle in which the horizontal seismic components are applied with respect to the principal structural axes during a time history analysis. In this study, numerical simulations ...

An efficient methodology for simulating earthquake-induced 3D pounding of buildings
Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Papaloizou, Loizos; Komodromos, Petros I. (2014)The current paper presents an efficient methodology for numerically simulating in three dimensions adjacent buildings that may experience pounding during strong earthquakes. In particular, a new approach to the numerical ...

A nonlinear impact model for simulating the use of rubber shock absorbers for mitigating the effects of structural pounding during earthquakes
Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Komodromos, Petros I.; Polycarpou, Anastasis C. (2013)SUMMARY During strong earthquakes, structural poundings may occur between adjacent buildings because of the limited separation distance and the deformations of their stories. A potential mitigation measure for this problem ...

On poundings of a seismically isolated building with adjacent structures during strong earthquakes
Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Komodromos, Petros I. (2010)This paper presents selected indicative results from an extensive parametric investigation that has been performed in order to assess the effects of potential earthquake-induced poundings on the overall dynamic response ...

Response of seismically isolated buildings considering poundings
Komodromos, Petros I.; Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Papaloizou, Loizos; Phocas, Marios C. (2007)Numerical simulations and parametric studies have been used to investigate the influence of potential poundings of seismically isolated buildings with adjacent structures on the effectiveness of seismic isolation. Poundings ...

Spatial seismic modeling of base-isolated buildings pounding against moat walls: effects of ground motion directionality and mass eccentricity
Mavronicola, E. A.; Polycarpou, Panayiotis C.; Komodromos, Petros I. (2017)Summary Structural impact between adjacent buildings may induce local and, in some extreme cases, severe damage, especially in the case of seismically isolated buildings. This study parametrically investigates in the ...
