β¦ Synopsis
A theoretical solution of the separation distance required to avoid siesmic pounding of two adjacent buildings simulated by linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems is presented. The analytical procedures are based on random vibration theory. The accuracy is demonstrated by simulation solutions. Comparison of computed results with available simulation results indicates that the proposed solution is accurate.

## Abstract The use of collision shear walls (bumperβtype), acting transversely to the side subject to pounding, as a measure to minimize damage of reinforced concrete buildings in contact, is investigated using 5βstory building models. The buildings were designed according to the Greek antiβseismi
Presented herein is an analytical procedure for evaluating the separation distance required between two buildings to prevent pounding during strong earthquakes. The procedure is based on equivalent linearization of non-linear hysteretic behaviour and application of the well-known CQC method of weigh
