标题：Problems of Collisions Between Adjacent Steel Structures under Earthquake Excitation / Problemy Zderzeń Pomiędzy Sąsiadującymi Konstrukcjami Stalowymi Poddanymi Obciążeniom Sejsmicznym
摘要：Nowadays, the high level of urbanization forces the engineers to design closelyseparated structures and to take into account many factors influencing their response, including collisions between them due to insufficient separation distance during moderate to strong ground motions. Recent observations as well as experimental and numerical investigations have confirmed that interactions between structures may lead to significant damage of structural elements and even to its total collapse. The aim of this paper is to investigate the influence of collisions between three insufficiently separated models of steel structures on structural response under earthquake excitation. The experimental tests as well as numerical analyses have been conducted in the study.
