Abstract
Depending on the separation of adjacent structures, they may be subjected to impacts when driven by earthquakes. The seismic pounding, as this impact is referred to, can cause serious damages in the structures, which include wall damage, column shear failure and possible collapse. Considering the importance of the matter, this paper is aimed at presenting a continuous vibration model for seismic pounding, where the contact is modeled using the Hertz contact theory.
