Journal of the institution of engineers (India) Series ASummary: Failure and collapse of structures due to natural or man-made catastrophes have become a consistent concern worldwide. The existence of a wide variation of high-rise structures in the past literature has made it difficult to study their geometrical orientation, locus and other physical and mechanical assets in their revision of design or retrofitting of various segments. This paper is presented with an objective to review existing buildings and building models from the previous literature and discuss their performance under variety of dynamic uncertainties. The fundamental geophysical and modelling assumptions, the varying parameters and data needed for their behaviour determination, along with the limitations of discussed models are summarised. Current study deals with building typologies like moment-resisting frames, shear wall structures, dual systems and structures with soft storey to analyse their behaviour under various loading conditions. These typologies have been considered for failure occurrences owing to effect of connections, soil underneath and progressive collapse. The present study involves only various building typologies and their typical failure occurrences, and hence structural control has not been taken into account. The last section of the study involves the literature on fuzzy logic and some of its application in enhancing structural behaviour in more realistic manner. Although the literature contains a wide variety of structural frames, effort has been put to quantize and summarise them for the last twenty-five years in nutshell for more relevant and smooth research process.

Failure and collapse of structures due to natural or man-made catastrophes have become a consistent concern worldwide. The existence of a wide variation of high-rise structures in the past literature has made it difficult to study their geometrical orientation, locus and other physical and mechanical assets in their revision of design or retrofitting of various segments. This paper is presented with an objective to review existing buildings and building models from the previous literature and discuss their performance under variety of dynamic uncertainties. The fundamental geophysical and modelling assumptions, the varying parameters and data needed for their behaviour determination, along with the limitations of discussed models are summarised. Current study deals with building typologies like moment-resisting frames, shear wall structures, dual systems and structures with soft storey to analyse their behaviour under various loading conditions. These typologies have been considered for failure occurrences owing to effect of connections, soil underneath and progressive collapse. The present study involves only various building typologies and their typical failure occurrences, and hence structural control has not been taken into account. The last section of the study involves the literature on fuzzy logic and some of its application in enhancing structural behaviour in more realistic manner.
