In high-rise buildings, such as G+30 reinforced concrete (RCC) framed structures, key concerns during seismic events include maintaining structural integrity, preventing catastrophic collapse, and ensuring the safety of occupants. Seismic retrofitting is a vital process aimed at enhancing the resilience of such buildings and infrastructure against earthquake forces, by strengthening their ability to withstand seismic activity. This abstract provides an overview of numerous seismic retrofitting projects implemented worldwide, focusing on the methodologies used, technologies adopted, and outcomes achieved. These projects integrate advanced materials and techniques, such as fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs), base isolators, and energy-dissipating devices, which not only enhance the safety and longevity of existing structures but also minimize the economic losses associated with seismic events. The use of FRPs, for example, provides lightweight, high-strength solutions for reinforcing vulnerable structural elements, while base isolators decouple a building from ground movements, thereby reducing the forces transmitted during an earthquake. Energy-dissipating devices absorb and dissipate seismic energy, preventing structural damage and extending the building’s lifespan. Case studies from regions with high seismic activity, such as Japan, California, and New Zealand, highlight the effectiveness of various retrofitting techniques. These examples demonstrate how adherence to local building codes, coupled with community engagement and education, plays a crucial role in the successful implementation of retrofitting initiatives. Furthermore, the ongoing challenges faced by seismic retrofitting projects—including funding limitations, stakeholder coordination, and the need for continuous advancements in engineering practices—are discussed, stressing the importance of proactive and innovative approaches to safeguard urban environments. This review underscores that comprehensive seismic retrofitting strategies are essential for reducing risks, protecting lives, and enhancing community resilience in earthquake-prone areas.
