Analytical expression between the impact damping ratio and the coefficient of restitution in the non-linear viscoelastic model of structural pounding
PublikacjaWyniki wcześniejszych badań pokazują, iż nieliniowy model lepko-sprężysty zderzeń konstrukcji budowlanych podczas trzęsień ziemi najdokładniej symuluje siłę zderzenia w czasie kontaktu oraz odpowiedź konstrukcji. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest wyprowadzenie wzoru na zależność pomiędzy liczbą tłumienia zderzenia (parametr wspomnianego modelu) a współczynnikiem odbicia, który jest parametrem często stosowanym i analizowanym w literaturze....

Verification of Formulas for Periods of Adjacent Buildings Used to Assess Minimum Separation Gap Preventing Structural Pounding during Earthquakes
PublikacjaInsufficient separation distance between adjacent buildings may lead to serious damages during earthquakes due to structural pounding. The best way to prevent collisions is to provide sufficiently large separation distance between the structures. In this paper, the periods of two closely-spaced linear and nonlinear buildings have been investigated so as to accurately assess the minimum in-between separation gap. A new equation...

Fragility analysis of structural pounding between adjacent structures arranged in series with various alignment configurations under near‑field earthquakes
PublikacjaA major cause of local to total damages is related to structural pounding in a large number of past earthquakes. In general, these collisions take place as a result of differences in the dynamic characteristics of the colliding structures. To acquire a better perception of the behavior of structures, in this paper, three structures featuring different heights are modeled in series and with various configurations next to each other...

Seismic Pounding Between Bridge Segments: A State-of-the-Art Review
PublikacjaEarthquake-induced structural pounding in bridge structures has been observed in several previous seismic events. Collisions occur at the expansion joints provided between adjacent decks or between the deck and abutment. Pounding between the structural elements may lead to severe damages and even to the unseating of the bridge in certain cases. Several investigations have been performed to study pounding in bridges under uniform...

Earthquake-induced pounding between superstructure segments of isolated bridge
PublikacjaThe use of seismic isolation in bridges is considered as one of the most promising advanced technologies to enhance the structural safety during earthquakes. However, the method results in larger displacements of superstructure segments increasing the probability of pounding between them. Reports after severe ground motions show that the earthquake-induced structural pounding may lead to significant damage in isolated bridges....

Seismic pounding between adjacent buildings: Identification of parameters, soil interaction issues and mitigation measures
PublikacjaStructural pounding has been observed in many previous earthquakes due to insufficient gap commonly provided between adjacent structures. The collisions usually generate large impact forces and short duration acceleration pulses which may result in significant damage to the colliding buildings. Because of that, earthquake induced structural pounding has been intensively studied and investigated for the last three decades. Results...
