The study focuses on analyzing the seismic pounding phenomenon in adjacent reinforced concrete multistory buildings during earthquakes, addressing a significant yet often overlooked risk in urban construction. Seismic pounding occurs when buildings constructed too close to one another collide during ground shaking, leading to severe structural damage. Historical events, such as the Mexico earthquake (1985) and the Northridge earthquake (1994), have demonstrated that seismic pounding can cause extensive damage or even collapse. The limited separation distance between buildings in densely...

This book focuses on the time series forecasting of critical meteorological parameters including temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind. It explores classical statistical models such as ARIMA, Holt-Winters, and Exponential Smoothing, along with a novel enhancement-the Modified Sliding Window Algorithm. The objective is to improve prediction accuracy in meteorological datasets by applying adaptive techniques. Real-time weather data has been analyzed using these models, and a comparative study highlights the performance of each. This work is beneficial for researchers, meteorologists, and...
