The increasing demand for high-rise buildings has emphasized the need for efficient lateral load-resisting systems capable of improving structural safety under seismic and wind loading 1–10. Conventional moment-resisting frames often experience excessive lateral displacement and inter-storey drift, leading researchers to investigate alternative systems such as diagrid, shear wall, moment frame, and brace tube 2, 3, 6, 8. This review paper critically examines published studies from 2018 to 2026 to evaluate the structural performance of these systems under various loading conditions 1–10. The reviewed research primarily utilized ETABS, STAAD.Pro, and Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis in accordance with IS 1893 (Part 1):2016 and IS 875 (Part 3):2015 for structural assessment 1, 2, 3, 6, 7. The literature indicates that diagrid systems generally provide higher lateral stiffness, lower storey displacement, improved drift control, and better material efficiency than conventional structural systems 1, 2, 5, 6, 8. Similarly, shear wall systems significantly enhance the seismic performance of reinforced concrete buildings, while hybrid configurations combining diagrid and shear walls demonstrate further improvements in structural stability 2, 3, 7, 10. The review also identifies research gaps related to super-tall buildings, octagonal plan configurations, multiple shear wall arrangements, and combined seismic wind performance evaluation, highlighting the need for further investigation in these areas 1, 2, 3, 8.
