Pounding influence on adjacent linear elastic structures considering various impact simulation techniques.

The article discusses a comparative study of pounding forces obtained from several models of impact simulation. Topics covered include pounding models' uncertainty in collision properties that alter a structure's final response, damage resulting from pounding between adjacent structures in densely populated cities, and the mathematical formulation of gap element spring properties. The linear single degree of freedom (SDOF) system in each adjacent structure in a system is also mentioned.
