Insufficient separation distance between adjacent buildings during strong earthquakes would probably result into striking of the buildings and subsequently create an excessive dynamic force called pounding. It produces undesirable forces resulting in large displacements, local damage and possible failure of the entire structure. Among the possible structural damages, seismic induced pounding has been commonly observed in several earthquakes. This project aims at studying seismic pounding effect between adjacent buildings by linear and nonlinear dynamic analysis using ETABS (Non Linear) computer program. A detailed parametric study is carried out to investigate the effect of various parameters on the structural pounding by Response Spectrum (Linear Dynamic) Analysis for medium soil at zone V and Time History (Non-Linear Dynamic) Analysis for Bhuj earthquake recorded excitation on different models with varying separation distances.
