Seismic pounding is a critical issue in urban areas where adjacent buildings collide during earthquakes due to inadequate separation gaps and differing dynamic properties. The configuration of buildings significantly influences the impact of seismic pounding, with taller and asymmetrical structures being more susceptible to increased shear forces and torsional effects during an earthquake. This study investigates pounding mitigation between an existing 15-storey building and newly proposed 10- and 20-storey structures using nonlinear time-history analysis in ETABS. Structural forms analyzed include reinforced concrete shear walls, steel bracings, tuned liquid dampers (TLDs), and hybrid combinations. Pounding severity is assessed based on out-of-phase displacements and shear force amplification. Results show that shear walls effectively mitigate pounding in mid-rise buildings, while hybrid solutions such as TLDs combined with bracings provide the most efficient mitigation in high-rise structures. The study provides practical, cost-effective design recommendations for retrofitting and constructing buildings in space-constrained, seismically active regions. This study contributes significantly to the field of earthquake engineering, ensuring safer and more resilient urban infrastructure.
