A New Method for Defining the Optimal Separation Gap Distance and the Acceptable Structural Pounding Risk on Multistory RC Structures

A New Method for Defining the Optimal Separation Gap Distance and the Acceptable Structural Pounding Risk on Multistory RC Structures

A proposal to control the structural pounding hazard imposed on multistory reinforced concrete (RC) structures is presented. The main goal is to guarantee the seismic performance of a structure with an acceptable (predefined) risk-targeted parameter without the need to eliminate structural pounding...
