Abstract
Presented herein is an analytical procedure for evaluating the separat ion distance required between two buildings to prevent pounding during strong earthquakes. The procedure is based on equivalent linearizatio n of non-linear hysteretic behaviour and application of the well-known CQC method of weighting normal mode responses, The numerical results obtained are compared with corresponding results obtained using the we ll-known SRSS and ABS methods.
