Many past earthquake studies show that during strong vibrations, the adjacent building structures which are closely spaced to each other are vulnerable to severe damage when the adjacent buildings are not at an adequate distance to accommodate their relative displacements. The primary goal of this research is to find out the minimum separation gap between buildings of varying height at the same floor-to-floor height level. SAP 2000 software is used to analyze the structural behavior of building during the earthquake. The non-linear dynamic (Time History) analysis method is used to calculate the minimum seismic gap between adjacent structures. The study uses three building models: one with six stories (G+6), one with nine floors (G+9), and one with twelve floors (G+12). G+6 and G+12 structures have the same floor to floor height and plan, as well as the same beam and column size (same stiffness), while G+9 structures have the same floor to floor height but differing beam&columnsizes.
