State of the art in the pounding mitigation techniques

Viviane Warnotte, Daniel Stoica, Stanislaw Majewski, Mihai Voiculescu

Abstract


Pounding introduces impact loads that have to be superimposed on those caused by the ground acceleration itself. When these impact loads from pounding are too high, the structural system has to be modified to reduce the response.
Several methods have been proposed to avoid pounding induced collapse of buildings. The methods may be classified according to their approach to the problem of pounding: methods to avoid pounding, methods to strengthen structures to withstand pounding, and techniques to reduce pounding effects in the structures.
