Thesis Overview

The project titled "Analysis of Earthquake Resistant Techniques in High-rise Buildings" aims to investigate and evaluate the various techniques used to enhance the seismic resistance of high-rise buildings. In recent years, the frequency and intensity of earthquakes have highlighted the importance of designing structures that can withstand such natural disasters. High-rise buildings are particularly vulnerable to seismic activity due to their height and structural complexity, making it crucial to implement effective earthquake-resistant techniques. The research will begin with a comprehensive literature review to understand the current state of knowledge regarding earthquake-resistant design principles and practices in high-rise buildings. This review will cover various aspects such as building materials, structural systems, foundation design, and retrofitting techniques that contribute to the seismic performance of high-rise structures. Following the literature review, the research will focus on the methodology employed to analyze earthquake-resistant techniques in high-rise buildings. This will involve studying case studies of existing high-rise buildings that have successfully implemented seismic design measures, as well as conducting simulations and analyses to evaluate the effectiveness of different techniques in enhancing the structural integrity and resilience of high-rise buildings. The findings of the research will be presented in a detailed discussion that highlights the strengths and limitations of different earthquake-resistant techniques in high-rise buildings. This discussion will provide insights into the factors that influence the performance of high-rise structures during seismic events, and offer recommendations for improving the seismic resistance of future high-rise building projects. In conclusion, the research on the analysis of earthquake-resistant techniques in high-rise buildings will contribute valuable knowledge to the field of structural engineering and help inform the design and construction practices of high-rise buildings in earthquake-prone regions. By identifying and evaluating effective seismic design strategies, this project aims to enhance the safety and resilience of high-rise buildings, ultimately minimizing the impact of earthquakes on the built environment.
