Abstract - This review study provides a thorough analysis of the seismic behavior of Reinforced Concrete (RC) frame structures, both with and without the use of Belt Truss and Outrigger Truss systems. The design and construction of buildings in earthquake-prone zones must prioritize seismic resistance and structural integrity. The research aims to assess the effectiveness of two commonly used lateral load-resisting methods, namely Belt Truss and Outrigger Truss, in improving the seismic performance of reinforced concrete frame buildings. The article conducts a comprehensive analysis of the current body of literature, techniques, and analytical approaches used to research seismic behavior. It emphasizes important discoveries and patterns in this subject. The study examines and highlights the differences in seismic behavior between reinforced concrete (RC) frame buildings designed conventionally and those that use Belt Truss and Outrigger Truss systems. The evaluation involves examining the structural parameters, material properties, and dynamic analytic methodologies used to evaluate the seismic resistance of certain structural configurations. The research examines how parameters like as building height, structural geometry, and seismic loading characteristics affect the performance of RC frame buildings, both with and without extra truss systems. The purpose of this study is to provide helpful insights for structural engineers, researchers, and practitioners who are engaged in the seismicresistant design and retrofitting of structures. This research enables educated decision-making in optimizing the seismic performance of reinforced concrete (RC) frame structures by recognizing their strengths and limits. Ultimately, this enhances the resilience and safety of buildings when exposed to seismic pressures.
crucial for resisting the stresses imposed by gravity, wind, and seismic activity. The building procedure entails encasing steel reinforcing bars with poured concrete, resulting in a sturdy and durable structure. High-rise reinforced concrete (RC) frames are highly preferred due to their capacity to withstand significant vertical loads and provide versatility in design. Architects can design inventive and visually appealing buildings while still guaranteeing their structural soundness. Engineers meticulously construct these frameworks to fulfill precise load and safety criteria, taking into account variables such as the height of the structure, occupancy, and local climatic conditions. Regular inspections and maintenance are essential for guaranteeing the ongoing stability and safety of high-rise reinforced concrete frames during their lifetime. These constructions have a crucial impact on contemporary urban environments, enabling the construction of distinctive and practical skyscrapers throughout the globe.

1. INTRODUCTION A high-rise RC (Reinforced Concrete) Frame is a structural method often used in the construction of tall structures, providing robustness, longevity, and adaptability. The frame is composed of reinforced concrete components that are linked vertically and horizontally. Reinforced concrete is a composite material that combines concrete and steel. Columns serve as vertical supports, whereas beams distribute weights and link the columns. This structure is © 2024, IRJET
