Mitigation of Seismic Pounding

Collision of two buildings which are of different dynamics characteristic is called as seismic pounding, the main reason for the seismic pounding is lack of separation gap between the buildings. This study covers the effect of structural pounding on conventional beam column system adjacent to flat slab system, in order to observe seismic pounding Time History analysis is carried out by using Elcentro earthquake data. This study also covers the mitigation techniques of pounding by introducing new Reinforced Concrete (RC) wall and Combined RC wall with steel bracings are proposed as possible mitigation techniques for pounding
