Numerical Simulation of Seismically Isolated Buildings Considering Poundings with Adjacent Structures


Abstract eng:
Considering a limited seismic gap around a seismically isolated building, in combination with a very strong earthquake excitation, there is always the possibility of poundings either with the surrounding moat wall or with the neighboring buildings. In order to investigate the influence of the impacts on the overall structural response, seismically isolated buildings in series with adjacent structures have been simulated and analyzed numerically under strong earthquake excitations. The effects of certain parameters, such as the size of the separation distance, the earthquake characteristics and the structural properties of the adjacent buildings, have been investigated parametrically using a specially developed software application.
