Abstract
The searcher studied the effect of pounding between adjacent buildings in series. Both experimental and numerical studies are conducted using three adjacent towers. Rigid and flexible structures with different configurations and different gap distances under several earthquake excitations are tested. Two configurations are tested using three tower models in one raw. The first configuration is the socalled Configuration (1), which considers the more rigid tower in the middle. The second configuration is the so-called Configuration (2), which considers the more flexible tower in the middle. The overall experimental tests conducted in this study were 170 tests. According to the author’s knowledge, the experimental study on pounding between structures in series has not been conducted so far. The numerical analysis is conducted using ADINA software.
