The main priority for a civil engineer is to provide security to citizens in any buildings and/or constructions he makes, this security always has to be linked to obtain the appropriate infrastructure at reasonable cost. In our country, construction projects specially buildings that are our case of study, could have many causes of failures during an earthquake, among them —and the one we will focus on— is the failure occurred by the contact between neighbor structures during a seismic activity. We consider the rapid increase of buildings for residential use and the yet existing informality in construction have been one of the reasons for generating constructed adjoining buildings without an appropriate seismic separation joints in Peru, in spite of the indications in the building code. Considering that the country is situated in a highly seismically unstable area, these buildings might be severely damaged during a seismic activity. For that reason, we want to discover and analyse the effect in the adjoining reinforced concrete structures of seismic separation joints below regulation, determining the impact force produced by the beating phenomenon between structures (pounding). The information that is going to be obtained is considered to be relevant, due to the lack of researches about this phenomenon in Spanish in our country. Once determined the impact force between structures, possible solutions that we consider might help attenuate the problem will be outlined.
