Remarks

This factor usually concerns high-rise buildings in densely built areas, like business districts of cities. If the gap between adjacent tall buildings is not adequate, there is potential danger of the two structures colliding during earthquake shaking. This phenomenon is known as the "pounding effect."

Severe damage may occur when the floors of the buildings are at different elevations, and the impact of one building's floors can destroy the columns in the adjacent building.

Default: Unknown (0)
