A Contact Element Approach with Hysteresis Damping for the Analysis and Design of Pounding in Bridges
Earthquake ground motion can induce out-of-phase vibrations between adjacent structures due to differences in dynamic characteristics, which can result in impact or pounding of the structures if the at-rest separation is insufficient to accommodate the relative displacements. In bridges, seismic pou...
