This analytical research project investigates the nonlinear                     problems of building collision during strong-motion earthquakes.                Several representative arrangements of buildings with different                 stiffness and impactive characteristics including column to slab                pounding will be examined.  Current code provisions for                         estimating the requirements for gaps at seismic joints will be                  verified.  Remedies to mitigate the pounding effects will be                    suggested.  The recommendations drawn from this study will be                   of great value for retrofitting of closely spaced adjacent                      buildings in seismic areas.
