Abstract The increasing demand for multi-storied steel buildings in urban environments has led to significant challenges in ensuring seismic resilience, particularly for irregular structures. This study provides a comprehensive review of seismic control strategies, focusing on base isolation and damping systems to mitigate the effects of structural irregularities. Various classifications of irregularities, including plan, vertical, stiffness, and torsional irregularities, are analyzed to understand their impact on dynamic response and stress distribution. The effectiveness of passive, active, and semi-active seismic control systems is assessed through experimental and numerical studies, including shake table tests, finite element analysis, and nonlinear time history analysis. Case studies of real-world applications and past earthquake failures highlight the critical role of seismic mitigation strategies. Furthermore, the study explores emerging innovations such as AI-based adaptive control systems and sustainable damping materials to enhance future seismic resilience. Key challenges, including economic feasibility, maintenance concerns, and regulatory limitations, are discussed to identify pathways for improving seismic design codes and practical implementation. The findings emphasize the necessity for hybrid control systems and interdisciplinary collaboration to advance seismic engineering for irregular steel buildings. This review aims to bridge existing knowledge gaps and provide a foundation for future research in optimizing seismic control techniques for complex structural configurations.
