Advancements in Earthquake-Resilient Structures: A Review of Recent Developments in Seismic Engineering

Abstract

There is an urgent need for earthquake-resistant buildings since human populations are increasing in seismically active areas. Modern seismic engineering has brought new ideas to improve the performance, sustainability, and safety of structures in earthquake-prone regions. state-of-the-art in earthquake-resistant building technology, with an emphasis on cutting-edge materials, design methods, and technologies. Innovative structural systems, base isolators, energy-dissipating devices, and smart sensors are important subjects, as are sophisticated materials including shape-memory alloys, fiber-reinforced polymers, and high-strength concrete. incorporate computer tools and modelling approaches to improve the accuracy of structure behaviour predictions during seismic occurrences. thinking about how robust structures will perform in the long run and what effect they will have on the environment is an important part of earthquake engineering. Problems with cost, complexity, and uniformity persist despite advances. This study provides useful insights into the ongoing evolution of seismic engineering by analysing recent case studies and future trends. The goal is to create structures that are safer, more durable, and sustainable so they can survive the forces of nature.
