This books analyzes different approaches to modeling
earthquake-induced structural pounding and shows the results of the
studies on collisions between buildings and between bridge segments
during ground motions. Aspects related to the mitigation of
pounding effects as well as the design of structures prone to
pounding are also discussed. Earthquake-induced structural pounding
between insufficiently separated buildings, and between bridge
segments, has been repeatedly observed during ground motions. The
reports after earthquakes indicate that it may result in limited
local damage in the case of moderate seismic events, or in
considerable destruction or even the collapse of colliding
structures during severe ground motions. Pounding in buildings is
usually caused by the differences in dynamic properties between
structures, which make them vibrate out-of-phase under seismic
excitation. In contrast, in the case of longer bridge structures,
it is more often the seismic wave propagation effect that induces
collisions between superstructure segments during earthquakes.
