Seismic Innovations: Strengthening Tall Buildings with Advanced Earthquake-Resistant Technologies

Abstract

Tall buildings are highly exposed to seismic risk, and their mitigation needs innovative solutions regarding their structural susceptibility. Advanced Earthquake-Resistant Technologies (AERT) offer revolutionary solutions to mitigate such risks. The existing methods are inapplicable because they cannot mitigate the dynamic loads precisely, hence increasing the structures' vulnerability during such seismic events. To overcome these limitations, the proposed AERT framework employs smart materials, energy dissipation devices, and online monitoring technologies. The framework improves the resilience of buildings with seismic forces and consequent damage through adaptive dampers, base isolators, and AI-driven analysis. This method has been implemented to clearly show its ability to decrease structural stress caused by earthquakes and enhance safety. Building stability, repair cost, and occupant safety are improved significantly with AERT, thereby significantly developing seismic engineering of urban infrastructure. Therefore, This research finds a pathway to more resilient, sustainable construction in earthquake-prone regions.
