Abstract

Pounding of the structure was determined by considering the buildings with equal heights and unequal heights for zone V. The minimum separation distance between the buildings is taken as per IS: 4326-2000. The three method of analysis has been conducted for modeling of buildings such as, equivalent static analysis, response spectrum analysis and time history method. By the above three methods of analysis the pounding effect between the buildings is observed that, pounding occurs only in unequal heights where as in equal heights of buildings due to similar characteristics of structures the pounding effect doesn’t occurs. This effect of pounding can be mitigated by using the energy dissipating device like visco-elastic dampers and springs are provided in between the adjacent buildings.
