This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of recent advancements in the field of seismic analysis of buildings. It traces the evolution of analytical techniques from empirical methods to modern AI and BIM-integrated modeling. The study synthesizes findings from global research between 2020–2025, emphasizing retrofitting strategies, performance-based design, and soil-structure interaction. Despite extensive international progress, a significant research gap persists in the context of Indian buildings, particularly those situated in seismic zone III.

Keywords: Seismic analysis, Building retrofitting, Performance-based design, Soil-structure interaction, BIM integration.
