Abstract

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.
