On poundings of a seismically isolated building with adjacent structures during strong earthquakes
(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 ...
A nonlinear impact model for simulating the use of rubber shock absorbers for mitigating the effects of structural pounding during earthquakes
(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 ...
Assessing the effect of inherent nonlinearities in the analysis and design of a low-rise base isolated steel building
(2013)
Seismic isolation is an effective method for the protection of buildings and their contents during strong earthquakes. This research work aims to assess the appropriateness of the linear and nonlinear models that can be ...
An efficient methodology for simulating earthquake-induced 3D pounding of buildings
(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 ...
