Abstract
This study is mainly concerned with the calculation of the pounding force resulting from the collision of the adjacent buildings under the seismic loads and calculating the sufficient separation distance between them. The considered design parameters include: the separation distance, dynamic characteristic of the buildings (stiffness and mass). A technique for seismic pounding mitigation based on locally connecting the adjacent frames at various floors is also proposed and evaluated in this thesis
