4.1 GENERAL
The main focus of this chapter is to study the seismic pounding between adjacent
buildings with different total heights and with varying separation distances.
The finite element analysis software ETABS Non-linear is utilized to create 3D model and run
the analysis. The software is able to predict the geometric non-linear behavior of space frames
under static or dynamic loadings, taking into account both geometric non-linearity and material
inelasticity. The software accepts and has the ability to perform Eigen values, non-linear static
pushover and non-linear dynamic analysis.

Seismic Weight:
The seismic weight of each floor is its full dead load and appropriate
amount of imposed load, While computing the seismic weight of each floor,
the weight of columns and walls in any storey shall be equally distributed
to the floors above and below the storey.
The seismic weight of the structure remains constant irrespective of zone
criteria.
Storey drift : Storey drift is the drift of one level of a multi storey building relative to
the level below. Inter story drift is the difference between the roof and floor
displacements of any given story as the building sways during the earthquake,
normalized by the story height.
The storey drift of the structure is shown in the following tables under various
seismic zone criteria.
The values of storey drift of the structure under seismic Zone II are given below
