Structural engineers aim to achieve the highest level of structural safety, particularly in earthquake-prone areas. Recent earthquakes have highlighted the urgent need for resilient engineering solutions. Given India’s high earthquake risk, especially in the northeastern and Himalayan regions, there is an increased emphasis on advanced seismic protection systems. This study focuses on the yielding brace systems (YBS), a seismic energy dissipater that improves structural resilience by dissipating energy during earthquakes. Unlike traditional braces that can buckle under compression, the YBS provides stable, nonlinear behavior in both compression and tension during an earthquake. This stability is due to the yielding fingers connected through a cast steel connector. In India, most buildings are constructed as low- to mid-rise structures. To evaluate the YBS performance in buildings of varying heights, this study examines three plan-symmetric RC frames of 6, 9, and 12 stories. The research uses nonlinear static pushover analysis (NSPA) and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) to assess seismic performance, aiming to restrict building damage to 1%–2% of the target drift. Seismic fragility analysis reveals that incorporating YBS significantly enhances seismic resilience, reducing the probability of collapse by 20%–30% in 6-story buildings, 25%–35% in 9-story buildings, and 30%–40% in 12-story buildings. Increasing YBS implementation to 2% further improves these reductions, demonstrating the system’s effectiveness in enhancing structural stability and performance under seismic conditions.

This paper focuses on the seismic vulnerabilities of multi-storey buildings in hilly regions like Sikkim and Uttarakhand, where rapid construction is driven by population growth and tourism. The study particularly evaluates step-back buildings on hilly slopes, comparing their vulnerability to standard buildings on flat terrain. Using non-linear analysis to assess structural aspects like displacement and storey drift ratio, the research examines the performance of these buildings in both uphill and downhill orientations against typical three-storey and six-storey structures, respectively. The findings indicate that step-back buildings, especially those without infill walls, are more susceptible to seismic damage. For instance, on the uphill side, a step-back building shows a mean drift ratio 15.11% greater in the X direction and 4.57% greater in the Y direction compared to a three-storey regular building (3SR). This vulnerability is exacerbated when infill walls are absent, with mean drift ratios in step-back buildings being 74.75% and 33% higher in the X and Y directions, respectively. Moreover, at a seismic acceleration of 0.36 g, the mean displacement of a step-back building is 83% greater in the X direction and 51% greater in the Y direction than those with infill walls (SBIN), underscoring the significant role of infill walls in enhancing earthquake resilience. The study also highlights that short columns in step-back buildings are particularly prone to severe damage, especially just above the uppermost foundation level. While infill walls offer substantial mitigation of damage at the Design Basis Earthquake (DBE) level, at the Maximum Considered Earthquake (MCE) level, step-back buildings still endure severe damage compared to regular buildings with infill walls. Consequently, the research establishes that step-back buildings demonstrate greater vulnerability at DBE levels without infill walls and are more susceptible to damage than flat terrain buildings at MCE levels, emphasizing the need for careful design and reinforcement strategies in earthquake-prone hilly areas.
