New Equivalent Linear Impact Model for Simulation of Seismic Isolated Structure Pounding against Moat Wall
Base-isolated buildings subjected to extreme earthquakes or near-fault pulse-like earthquakes can exceed their design gap distance and impact against the surrounding moat wall. Based on equating energy dissipation and maximum collision compression deformation of isolated structure with the Hertz-dam...
