        abstract = {The increasing demand for high-rise buildings in seismic-prone regions has created the need for advanced seismic evaluation techniques capable of accurately predicting structural behaviour under strong earthquake loading. This study presents the seismic performance evaluation of reinforced concrete G+10, G+20, and G+30 buildings using Incremental Dynamic Analysis (IDA). Different lateral load resisting systems, such as Buckling Restrained Bracing (BRB), BRB-E systems, Crescent bracing, and X-bracing were incorporated to improve seismic performance. Nonlinear time history analysis was performed using incrementally scaled earthquake records ranging from 0.1g to 1.0g. Engineering demand parameters such as maximum storey displacement, inter-storey drift ratio, time period, and collapse behaviour were evaluated. The results indicate that the normal frame exhibits maximum displacement and seismic vulnerability, whereas BRB-E and BRB systems significantly improve stiffness, energy dissipation, and overall structural performance.},
