Abstract
Description
The construction of high-rise buildings in
coastal regions has become increasingly popular, posing
significant challenges to structural integrity due to the
unique environmental conditions. This review aimed to
identify the prevalent structural integrity issues and
remedial actions for safer, more durable, and sustainable
coastline high-rise structures. A literature review was
conducted, revealing that high-rise structures along
coastlines are vulnerable to issues such as base design,
material corrosion, coastal erosion, seismic forces, wind,
and earthquake loads. Corrosion-resistant materials, base
isolation systems, and the application of resilient design
concepts were found to be viable remedial actions to
lessen the impact of these issues. The findings
demonstrate the crucial importance of designing,
constructing, and maintaining high-rise structures while
considering the unique environmental characteristics of
coastal areas. The resilience and durability of these
structures can be enhanced by implementing resilient
design concepts, base isolation systems, and
corrosion-resistant materials. The results have significant
implications for the design, construction, and maintenance
of high-rise buildings in coastal regions, emphasizing the
need to account for potential natural hazards.
