Comparative Seismic Assessment Of High-Rise Structures Using Dynamic Analysis Techniques

Abstract

The seismic resilience of high-rise buildings is paramount, especially in seismically active regions. This review
synthesizes past research focusing on the application of Response Spectrum Analysis (RSA) and Time History
Analysis (THA) in evaluating the seismic performance of tall structures. By examining various studies, this paper
highlights the methodologies employed, key findings, and the comparative effectiveness of RSA and THA. The
analysis reveals that while RSA offers a simplified approach suitable for preliminary design, THA provides a
more detailed insight into structural responses under seismic loading. The integration of both methods, along
with considerations for structural irregularities and soil-structure interaction, enhances the accuracy of seismic
performance evaluations. This comprehensive review aims to guide future research and practical applications in
the seismic assessment of high-rise buildings.
