        abstract = {This review investigates simulation-based fault-tolerant control for tall buildings exposed to seismic vibrations, emphasizing the integration of structural modeling, seismic analysis, and intelligent control into a unified framework. The paper integrates research encompassing BIM-driven modeling of high-rise structures, nonlinear structural and seismic analysis, dynamic representation of building-soil systems, and the design of fault-tolerant controllers, including fuzzy logic frameworks for vibration mitigation. In the literature reviewed, active and semi-active control systems consistently mitigate inter-storey drift and floor accelerations during significant motions; however, their efficacy diminishes in the event of sensor, actuator, or communication failures. The findings underscore that adaptive and reconfigurable control strategies, in conjunction with prompt fault detection and diagnosis, can maintain satisfactory seismic performance despite partial system deterioration. Simultaneously, deficiencies remain in standardized fault taxonomies, stringent analysis of soil–structure interaction, multi-hazard coupling, and life-cycle or resilience-oriented performance metrics. The review clarifies how fault-tolerant control concepts extend performance-based earthquake engineering by mapping these trends onto a structured simulation workflow. It also points out promising directions in cyber-physical validation and surrogate modeling. The study offers a comprehensive knowledge repository and a strategic framework for enhancing resilient control design for future tall structures in seismically active areas.},
