Summary
This study, reported in this paper, investigates parametrically, through numerical
simulations, the effect of the angle of seismic incidence on the response of adjacent
buildings, which are subjected to pounding phenomena as a result of insufficient or
no separation distance between them. Two typical multi-storey buildings are
simulated in three dimensions using simple structural modelling, while taking into
account the geometry of the buildings in plan. A simple but efficient impact model
is used that does not require the a priori determination of contact points, taking also
into account the arbitrary geometry at the vicinity of impact when calculating the
magnitude and the direction of the impact forces during pounding. The effect of the
excitation angle on the dynamic response during pounding has been parametrically
examined in combination with other determinant factors, such as the floor mass
eccentricity and the ground motion characteristics.
