Building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. It leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. Many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. In numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

Nowadays, underground structures play vital role in developing different countries. Such structures are constructed in many civil activities such as development of road and railways, subways, water, gas and sewage lines, underground subways, nuclear wastes land filling, fuel storage and military installations. With an appropriate drilling method being selected, instabilities created in tunnels ...

The collision between adjacent buildings with an insufficient seismic separation distance has been reported after earthquakes. This buildings, commonly referred to as earthquake-induced pounding, entails huge damages the involved buildings. main cause of damage was interpreted developed impact forces colliding intensity force relies on many factors, therefore, a significant research effort foun...

Abstract. Historical masonry structures represent a conspicuous part of the European architectural heritage. However, these often are more vulnerable to damage risk than other constructions due their peculiar mechanical properties. This justifies lively interest in development efficient and reliable approaches for structural capacity assessment. work presents vulnerability assessment historical...
