  • First Online:
Earthquake-Induced Structural Pounding

Part of the book series: GeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences ((GEPS))

Abstract

An intensive study has been carried out on mitigation of pounding hazards. One of the objectives is to develop procedures for evaluating an adequate separation distance between buildings or bridge segments in order to prevent contacts during earthquakes.
