A number of past and recent observations have confirmed that collisions between adjacent, insufficiently-separated structures occurring as a result of seismic excitation (structural pounding) may result in serious damage to structural elements and can even lead to their total destruction. This paper summarises the results obtained from a shaking table experimental study which investigated structural pounding between three adjacent models of steel towers. The study included different configurations of towers and distances between the structures. The results of the study confirmed that collisions have a significant influence upon the behaviour of the towers, leading to the increase as well as decrease in the structural response.
