Abstract:

Pounding of structures is a common phenomenon between adjacent structures, which are subjected to strong earthquake motions. The pounding can be seen both in urban and rural area. But urban area damage will be more compared to rural area, because of heavy structures strike by ground motion. The investigations which are made by past and present earthquake seismologist say that the building structures which are closely packed are vulnerable to serve damages. The main aim of this research is to analyze the pounding response of commercial buildings having equal heights and unequal heights produced by ground motion for different EQ zones, by using Staad Pro and ETABS software, by using Elcentro data of Time Vs Acceleration. The analysis is done based on Seismic Coefficient Method.

Keywords:

 Pounding, adjacent structures, ground motion, structures strike, Elcentro data, Seismi Coefficient Method.
