Abstract
In the time of high urbanization, the need to build closely-spaced structures forces the designers to take into account earthquake-induced collisions between adjacent buildings and their effects on the response of structures. Past and recent investigations confirmed that interactions between adjacent buildings during earthquakes may cause serious damages to the structural elements and may even lead to total collapse of the structure. The aim of the paper is to show the results of the experimental and numerical study focused on earthquake–induced pounding between adjacent steel structures in series. In the study, two analyses were performed using three steel towers with different dynamic parameters and various distance between structures. The results of the study indicate that collisions may significantly influence the structural behaviour, leading to the increase in the response
