The paper represents the effect of two adjacent building in terms of story displacement and required gap
under seismic effect. The methods used for analysis are Equivalent Static Analysis (ESA) and Response Spectrum
Analysis (RSA). Comparison of ESA & RSA methods has been carried out to calculate the gap required. The study
compares the story displacement and required gap of fixed base building and building isolated with Triple Friction
Pendulum System. The study has been carried out for different story heights. The paper also includes the use of bracing
system and shear wall. The paper also represents required seismic gap between two adjacent buildings to eliminate the
collision during earthquake. The methods adopted for finding required gap is Absolute Sum Method (ABS) and Square
Root of Sum of Square (SRSS). For the analysis commercial, software ETABS has been used.
