Earthquake-induced pounding is a phenomenon that has been often experienced in previous earthquakes. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of the soil type on high-rise buildings experiencing earthquake induced-pounding. Pounding between 7-storey and 9-storey buildings is examined under five soil types defined in the ASCE 7-10 code which are hard rock, rock, very dense soil and soft rock, stiff soil and soft clay soil. The results of this study indicate that higher displacements at all storeys, peak storey shears and pounding forces were experienced in buildings founded on the soft clay soil, then for buildings founded on the stiff soil, then for buildings founded on very dense soil and soft rock, and finally for buildings founded on the rock and hard rock. This means that considering the soil-structure interaction and the soil type in pounding studies is apparent rather than considering fixed-base building or considering SSI in general without giving attention to the soil type used.
