Seismic design of high-rise buildings is essential to ensure the safety and integrity of structures during earthquakes.

◾ ASCE 7-22 provides guidelines and requirements for seismic design, including load and strength requirements.

◾ Deflection in a building refers to the amount of displacement that occurs in the structure when it is subjected to lateral loads.

◾ To control lateral deformation, engineers use various techniques such as Base isolation, Damping systems, Energy dissipation devices, and Seismic-force-resisting systems (SFRS).

◾The analysis should consider the building’s geometry, materials, and construction, as well as the characteristics of the seismic load.

Seismic design of high-rise buildings is a complex process that requires a thorough understanding of engineering principles, building codes and guidelines as well as the characteristics of the specific site and seismic hazard.
