Pounding between neighboring buildings is a common phenomenon which can be observed during strongground motions. It can damage the buildings and also can cause loss of life and property. It is an important phenomenonand therefore, shall be considered in modeling of buildings for structural analysis. In this study, the pounding has beenconsidered in the modeling of two hypothetical case study buildings for seismic Zone 2B as per BCP-SP07 building codeof Pakistan. Etabs has been used for the said purpose. The buildings are analyzed using Non-linear modal time historiesas per BCP-SP07. Various analysis results have been compared. The analysis results show that pounding increasedisplacement up to 2 times as compared to without pounding case. Pounding increase, the axial forces up to 230 timesand bending moment up to 3 time in the beams being collided. Similarly, the shear forces are also significantly increasedin case of pounding as compared to without pounding case
