The authors propose a spectral difference method to predict the maximum relative displacement between adjacent elastic structures subjected to seismic traveling waves. Based on random vibration theory, the method seeks the cross-correlation between the responses of adjacent structures subjected to differential earthquake excitation with time lag. Computer simulation results derived from 15 earthquake records reveal good agreement between the proposed spectral analysis and time-history analysis. The relations between the maximum relative displacement of adjacent structures and their vibration periods, damping, and time lag of earthquake excitations are exposed using the closed form solution derived. Time lag of the excitations among adjacent structures changes the correlation and phase of vibration of the adjacent structures. The cross-correlation coefficient that captures this aspect is explained. Its magnitude under nonzero time lag can be very different from that under zero time lag. In some cases, these coefficients can have different signs. This leads to a significant change in the peak relative displacement of adjacent structures. These are especially true when the structures are subjected to surface waves; they rest on soft soils where low wave velocities develop, and their supports are remotely located.
