| Abstract | Due to overwhelming conditions and high land costs, most buildings in the metropolitan regions of Yangon are physically or extremely close to the neighboring structures and thus are likely to be damaged by collateral disruption during future earthquakes. Earthquake-induced structural pounding damage is a tremendous momentum transferred between closely spaced adjacent structures and this impact force can exceed the structural design capacity, leading to severe damage or even instant catastrophic collapse and reducing the survival chance of collapse. Without proper guidelines, pounding will be a serious hazard between closely spaced buildings in seismically active areas like Yangon. Therefore, evaluation of global and local responses of the buildings which are currently existing in the physical adjoining state had been done to determine proper analytical tools for Pounding reaction and destruction to structures with no gap. Using the program SAP2000 v.19, linear response spectrum analysis for preliminary analysis and time history analysis with three different ground motions for nonlinear dynamic had been done in this study. The responses will be shown in story displacements, drift ratios, story shear, base shear, floor accelerations and several impact forces and intensities. The performance of the structures is expressed in the flexural yielding of column fiber hinges and acceptance criteria levels of beam elements. |
