Pounding Effect Between Adjacent Buildings
Pounding Effect Between Adjacent Buildings
(OP)
I am investigating the following:
2 adjacent buildings aready constructed, gap between them is 60mm. One is a 38 story R.C structure, the other a 7 story steel structure.
The total drift at 7th floor level for both buildings combined, calculated using ETABS, due to seismic loads is around 100mm.
Anyway to calculate the pounding forces between the 2 buildings in case of earthquake?
