Study on Pounding of Structures with Soil–Structure Interaction Effects: A Review

Abstract

Abstract\nIn metropolitan cities, due to high land value structures are built very close to each other. During strong earthquakes, adjacent buildings with insufficient clear distances collide with each other causing architectural and structural damage or collapse of the whole structure. In addition to pounding, the interaction effects exchange the vibration energy between buildings making the problem further complicated. This paper attempts to provide a state-of-the-art review on the pounding of structures considering soil–structure interaction effects.
