Abstract: Earthquake-resistant design is fundamental in modern structural engineering and is centred on limiting the disastrous repercussions of seismic occurrences in buildings and infrastructure. Advanced strategies and innovations in earthquake-resistant design are presented in this paper, emphasising structural features comprising seismic joints, shear walls, base isolation systems, and energy dissipation mechanisms. Recent developments in materials, such as fibre-reinforced composites and hybrid systems, are mainly dealt with in the paper to increase the flexibility and resilience of buildings. General design principles, from site selection to foundation planning and layout optimisation, are presented, including data from recent research. Comparisons, through visualisations, of base shear, inter-story drift, and structural damage will be presented to assess the effectiveness of innovative solutions. The findings deduce that inedible integrated high-quality computational tools, performance-based designs, and sustainable construction practices guarantee safety and functional ability in earthquake-prone regions. The study contributes to the continuous development of resilient urban infrastructure, opening ways toward safer and more sustainable communities.
