Abstract

Seismic overall performance of buildings is a important issue in each architectural and structural design, especially in regions exposed to seismic dangers. Despite giant improvements in structural engineering technologies, the function of architectural form stays insufficiently incorporated into layout practices geared toward improving seismic resistance. This look at investigates the effect of the formal dimension of architectural design on the seismic performance of buildings by analyzing key shape-related attributes, namely regularity, symmetry, simplicity, continuity, and slenderness. An analytical–descriptive method is followed, based totally on an extensive evaluation of applicable literature and the assessment of architectural configurations with regards to their structural behavior underneath seismic loading. The findings indicate that architectural form performs a fundamental role in organizing mass and stiffness distribution, defining load paths, and influencing the dynamic reaction of homes. Regular, symmetrical, and simple forms contribute to a greater balanced seismic response and reduce torsional results, whereas abnormal and complicated configurations cause multiplied structural vulnerability and unpredictable behavior. Continuity enhances the integrity of load transfer mechanisms, whilst slenderness presents great challenges in excessive-upward thrust buildings due to expanded lateral displacements. The examine concludes that integrating formal design considerations inside the early levels of architectural decision-making is essential for enhancing seismic resilience. It also proposes a conceptual framework linking architectural form with seismic performance, thereby bridging the gap between architectural design and structural behavior, and assisting the improvement of extra green and resilien.
