Abstract
The three dimensional pounding phenomenon of two adjacent
buildings during earthquakes with aligned and non aligned
rigid horizontal diaphragms is investigated for linear and non
linear structural response. The developed formulation takes
into account the dynamic contact condition for the velocities
and accelerations in three dimensions. The contact points are
determined geometrically from the displacements of the
diaphragms' centre of mass. The results of the proposed
formulation are compared with those based on the Lagrange
multipliers approach.
Test results are performed for two adjacent buildings with five storeys subjected to real earthquake motions, with elastic and inelastic structural response. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
