This study explores optimization strategies for the seismic behavior of adjacent buildings under impact and seismic loads. With construction rapidly expanding in densely populated urban environments, accurately analyzing the dynamic response of these structures is crucial. The research begins by identifying key factors that influence seismic behavior, followed by an examination of the dynamic responses of the buildings subjected to various loading conditions. Additionally, this analysis utilizes both analytical models and numerical simulations to assess performance comprehensively. The results reveal that maintaining adequate spacing between buildings, selecting appropriate materials, and implementing effective structural designs can significantly mitigate damage from seismic and impact forces. Notably, a sensitivity analysis indicates that even minor adjustments in design parameters can lead to considerable improvements in structural performance. In conclusion, the study offers practical recommendations aimed at enhancing the design and construction practices of adjacent buildings, thereby improving their safety and stability in the face of natural disasters. These valuable findings provide detailed insights for engineers and architects striving to bolster structural safety and also minimize the risks associated with earthquakes and impact loads. Eventually, By integrating these recommendations, the resilience of urban structures can be significantly improved, ensuring better protection for occupants and communities alike.
