Performance of base-isolated moment resisting steel frames subjected to pounding effects under near-field earthquake ground motions

Despite conservative requirements of existing building code regarding clear seismic gap distance of base-isolated (BI) structures to surrounding moat walls, seismic performance of these structures is still ambiguous under severe earthquake ground motions that may push the base slab of the isolation...
